N100039,  “The Super Sport Jacksonville Convention Car”, was delivered on June 6, 1966 from Fisher Body as coach #DD60D.  Like all F-Body Pilot Prototypes at Norwood, it started its hand built assembly in consecutive VIN number order as the thirty-ninth build of the engineering study.  One of three on Fleet and Special Order # 5-12 made by Sales Convention Jacksonville, it carried model # 12637.  This turquoise on black coupe was the twenty-eighth Camaro coupe ever built.  With a 350 cubic-inch power plant and a standard 4-speed transmission, its lack of presence in General Motors photo shoots make it an elusive piece of early Camaro history.  It was required to be received by R.J. Jones at the Chevrolet Atlanta on or around August 8, 1966 for photo shoots.  Because of the extremely late “Vehicle Required at Destination” date, our research and interviews have shown that all Pilot Prototypes still in storage at the Pilot Prototype facility were used as assembly test mules.  NCRS certificates show #39 being shipped to Dworkin Chevrolet, Zone 2 and it is thought to have been used as a dealer promotional vehicle until being sold to the first owner.  Extensive and exhaustive history searches have gleaned no documented ownership history.  Current whereabouts and existence is unknown as of 3-1-2015.
