    Video is very short. Could be a Chevrolet Engineering Center Test Car. You have to email him to get the full 5 min video.
    Person in the video doesn't disclose the Vin or show a picture of the Tank sticker, which he claims to have, at least not in the short version.
    Video claims the car has been missing since 1973. Interesting, bet his price tag is also.

          What were they testing for in May '67 that they couldn't find out Sept/April?

            In my opinion it was likely a GM executive company car normally called a "drive and buy". The exec uses it as their assigned company car then they buy it at the end at an additional discount over employee price....very common practice used even to this day.

              For some reason it hung around GM and was sold in 1973 with a 454. It has a very cool document from its sale in 1973.
