Mike,

Hugh Dibley did not drive the Camaro at Daytona.  He was looking for a Z-28 to race and Penske's friend George Wintersteen put him in touch with Craig Fisher.  Dibley bought Fisher's Black Panther street car less engine and this was coordinated through Wintersteen.  I have Craig Fisher's letters documenting this.  Here's a neat video of the '67 BOAC race at Brand's Hatch with some screen footage of Dibley.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov5ZHn7QkFs

Zedder:
It’s interesting that Craig’s BP has white pin stripes instead of the gold ones found on other BP’s.  For those interested in these cars, Bob’s car above does not have correct/original BP emblems nor the correct/original 007 panel.
