[Dr. Eric M. Schiffer]

Nope. John was driving the white with black top blue printed with headers Royal '67 GTO 4 speed car from the GTO switch story.

In '67 Jim also had a couple of '67 Firebird press cars and other GTO's and a Catalina 2+2 428 4 speed. Some car were registered to Jim others to the factory and even to the Dealership. John drive most of the cars.

Jim had factory supplied press cars as well as, factory engineering cars and Ace Wilson Royal supplied cars. Most of the time Jim's cars were left at the Dealership to be kept in tune. But, the catch was his Royal cars were used as a "Demo"and could be sold at any time. Jim would arrive some days at the Dealership and his "Demo" had been sold. LOL

In 1967 there was to be a "Mystery Firebird" program like the "Geeto Tiger" program of the prior two years but with two Firebirds. John Politzer did drive the "Mystery Bird" during some trials. But the program was canceled before it got off the ground when the insurance company backed out and would not cover the program once they realised the kind of potential exposure and liability. The Firebirds were retuned to the factory.

Here is a picture of John testing the "Mystery Firebird" and changing the shifter. More of the car on the next page.
