Was talking to friend about these cars tonight, here are a couple of things I have in my files, this is in the U.K, I believe to be the
one Jon mentions above with pic that went to Hugh Dibley. Is the info in the green square correct ?

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

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.
