Ever hear of a 1966 Chevy Caribe?

Bob,
I have a book, Chevy Super Sports, that has a short blurb about the Caribe. It says that none were ever sold. It was just an "idea" car. I think it would have been a great idea!!

Hey Ross,great idea if the 4 women came with the car !!! John
You may be able to buy it soon. GM just announced they are going to auction off their "one offs" and "antique" car collection. I think they want to do it before a Federal BK court orders it liquidated.
Here's a potential sales pitch
Four doors. Four women. One car. With the new for '66 Caribe, the top comes off on all five

The first generation turbine car, the "Y Job", the original Buick Wildcat, and several more I do not remember the names of off hand.

no1:Add 43 years to the 4 beauties in the picture and I'm pretty sure you would want them to keep their tops on.

That's when the 23 year old's butterfly tattoo on the boobie turns into a terradactyl at 63
The XP Cars
There was only two of these made.
I think that both were destroyed. Though one may have survived and is in the GM museum.
Just like alot of the Motorama dream cars and weird one-offs that GM made. They scapped them when they were done with them. No real reason to warehouse a concept car for 40-50 years.
This particular one was built to do two things 1) to see if it could be mass produced efficiently using other 66 "B" parts
and 2) to explore consumer interest in this product.
The 1968 Camaro Carribbe is even a more interesting and more tasteful example of such cars.
