N100004, “The 283 Test Car”, was delivered on May 24, 1966 from Fisher Body as coach #DD03D. Like all F-Body Pilot Prototypes at Norwood, it started its hand built assembly in consecutive VIN number order as the fourth build of the engineering study. One of one on Fleet and Special Order # 5-5 made by Engineering Testing, it carried model # 12437. This green on black coupe was the third coupe ever built. With a 283 cubic inch power plant and a standard 3-speed transmission, its presence in photo shoots at General Motors proving grounds make it a highly documented piece of Camaro history. It was required to be received by C. Caswell at the General Motors Proving Grounds on or around June 8, 1966 for testing, and was shipped on time. NCRS certificates show #4 being returned to corporate, Zone 0 and it is thought to have been used as a company promotional vehicle shortly thereafter. Extensive and exhaustive history searches have gleaned no documented ownership history. Current whereabouts and existence is unknown as of 3-1-2015.
