Ive never heard of a Bill Mitchell having a concept car. I would definitely hold on to it until you find the info on it. I remember Mickey Thompson building a third gen once with a big block. You have my curiosity up now, I'm going to search the web and see what I can find.

I did find this though http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/classi...cat=all&page=1

A pic of a 1980 version http://www.nastyz28.com/2gcog/stegmiller/80_bm.htm

Also found this, sorry but nothing on the 79 version.http://www.nastyz28.com/2gcog/stegmi...l.htm#Mitchell

From the info that I have read it seems they are turbo cars and very rare. I think the 1980 model less than 100 were made. Sounds like you may have hit the jack pot. Please keep us informed

sorry that its taken me so long to get back to ya, I have not been able to get back in touch with the elder lady that owned it, she says she has all paper work that her husband ever got with this car, but she has now idea about it at all. Now, i will say this i've heard of some of the camaros back then being turbo but this one is not(dam it). I guess i'm just wondering if i should sell it or maybe store it for my daughter, shes 2yrs old

I would def keep it untill you can atleast find more info out it.. It would be terrible to let it go only to find out later that is it worth alot..

Just keep doing your research.. Perhaps Scott Settlemire (Fbodfather) can shed some light on it.

I know there were NO turbocharged factory cars sold in the second gens there were a few prototypes (see turbo ultra Z thread in this section) but I dont believe it was ever sold to the public.. this would be for the Z28s there were turbo T/As in the late 80s (301 Pontiac engines).
The mitchell cars were all non factory models built after GM built them by an aftermarket builder very few records on production are available for this type of car ..

Do you still have this car or did you sell it. Is it a 1980 or 1979.

Thanks
