What's A Pilot Car?

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi Barry,

does Y91 (show car) together mean the car was probably on display at a car show?
The words "show car" are also stamped on a second tag.
The car is a pilot car, too, having "Job 162" stamped on the second tag, VIN is 100162, SPD is 714

If it was probably shown somewhere: Is there any chance of finding out in which show?

I just bought a 71 Challenger R/T Pilot car.


Actually - I just bought a 71 Challenger R/T from a pilot. Does that count?   

                           the only diff between your car is an "s"  pilot vs. pilot's   so i guess its really close to the same thing.

 Anyone else notice it's Billboard reads "1971"?

We got a 2011 Challenger at work that's just been sitting in Primer past 2 months. It was suppose to go to the L.A Auto show but they could not decide on a color so they did nothing with it & now it sits. Many hours spent on it making Gaps perfect & body straight & now it sits in primer & might get scrapped/junked. The Vin # is #12. Early Pilot car. If it does get sold 20 years from now someone may want to know why it sat so long & sold so late, ect.  LEON.

Carsten,
Email a photo of the tag to me if you can & I will look it over for you. The VON may offer a clue as to it's intended use. 

Broadcast sheet scan too if you have it?


The stripes have been mentioned on this '71 Barracuda a couple of times, it is coded for white side moldings. No billboard stripes available on Barracudas, Cudas only, so yes, they were added.
