Trans-Am Camaros / Re: 1967 Trans-Am season review

« on: January 20, 2016, 03:27:04 AM »

I know this photo has been posted here before, this is the Penske '67 Camaro on the tech line ? at Sebring in 1967. I only noticed this today, the inner section of the taillights, the trunk lock, & the stock fuel filler block out panel are missing. would this have been some trick to increase venting through the rear of the car ? at later races that season, those parts are back in place.

here's one of Smokey & Jim Hall, also at Daytona 1968. I think Hall is saying " well Smokey, there seems to be a little problem with tech"

Jon, I'm surprised that no one caught who is behind the wheel of the Yunick Camaro at Daytona in your last post ! pictures of Jim Hall with the car are rare ! here's the one with Hall climbing in, that was on e-bay a while back, you and I talked about it at the time it was listed. I don't know if Hall did any laps ? I've heard differing stories.

not sure if this is the spot for this, VW ad with '69 Camaro. not sure what time frame, but looks to be the psychedelic '70s.

Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Are these ex-Trans Am Camaros racing at multiple Daytona 24 hour races?

« on: December 06, 2015, 08:03:32 PM »

  haven't posted on the forum in a while !  I know it's not Daytona, I've just come across this photo, looks like a ex Chaparral Camaro ? if not can we identify where this was taken ? and the Camaro driver. Jon will probably have the answer.

great photos of the Robbins Camaro ! is the first colour photo at Daytona, the garages look familiar ? Marshall is a really nice guy, he was kind enough  to recently answer some questions I had on the ex Chaparral Camaro he drove.
