Cool Any one ever heard of Bill Mitchell concept

O.K I recently have aquired a 1979 Bill Mitchell Camaro and it is in great shape, it is very hard to find any info on this car or if it is actually worth any more than a regular camaro, soon as i get it cleaned up I'll post a pic. Any help would be greatly appreciated! O ya it is a four speed car with a 350 and some kind of suspention upgrade

Off the top my head hes an engine builder. I don't ever recall him building a car though. Maybe its sort like the concepts of the Hennessy vipers, Saleen Mustangs, and Lingenfelter vettes. I remeber Mickey Thompson built a third gen once with a big block. That was pretty cool. Sounds like you may have a keeper.

There were a few of those cars made but they are definately worth restoring as there weren't a whole lot made (probably only a few dozen each year) although I don't have any numbers.. parts might be hard to find if there is any body damage they had special bumpers and spoilers if I remember correctly..

Bill Mitchell was a designer for GM in the late 50's and 60's - did lots of concept cars like the Mako Shark Corvette, some of the future cars, so on- try a google search-

IF you have a real Bill Mitchell car, it is truly a one-off, factory custom or concept car- restore it and name a price-
