An old ad for Fypro and Racemark products that Mark Donohue endorsed (pulled from a May 10, 1972, National Speed Sport News).

Sylvania not only made bulbs for headlights but also made backlit number panels to assist the timing & scoring
people at the races which went into the evening hours.




Below is the #15 Penske Camaro at the '68 Sebring 12-hour race. The number 15 on the side of the car is much
easier to see in this nighttime photo thanks to the backlit Sylvania number panel.

Not a Trans-Am related ad but a rare ad for Nickey Chevrolet showing an unused funny car for sale plus their usual pitch for high performance cars.

I'm not sure if the Z88 is a typo or what, Fred. Here's another ARE ad, this one coming from Car Life magazine, June 1969.

I was going to start a thread containing ads that featured Trans Am related ads until I found that this one had already been started.  I plan on including magazine ads that feature something related to the race cars that either competed in the Trans Am series from 1966 to 1972 or were built to homologate parts or packages for Trans Am racing.  The ads I will show will be either from the automotive manufacturers competing in the Trans Am series or from other automotive companies and sponsors.  I have a good portion of these ads in a scrapbook but my scanner is not working right now, so I will upload pictures from the internet.  I will try to give as much info on a particular ad as I can but this is not always possible since they ran in so many different magazines and issues within a given calender year.  I will start out with the ads that feature Camaros and then go on from there.  Enjoy!

This first ad is from Yenko Sportscars and it features their 1967 Yenko Z-28 Camaro Stormer package.  A larger version of the ad can be seen here: http://67z28.com/gallery/albums/67%20Camaro%20Print%20Ads/Yenko/Stormer-2.jpg

Here is a Yenko Sportscars ad that also features the 1967 Yenko Z-28 Camaro Stormer.  The picture was included in an article entitled, "Stormer: Yenko's Other Camaro" that appeared in the June 2012 edition of Muscle Car Review.  It was written by Drew Hardin and the photos were credited to Jon Mello, Tim Lopata, and The Peterson Archives, so I'm not sure whose this one actually is.  The caption for the photo in the article states, "Yenko beat Chevrolet to the punch in offering a rear spoiler for the '67 Camaro, a feat he trumpeted in this ad.  Note that the Stormer in the ad is Bud Gates' car."

Your welcome Mike,  I'll post the Sunoco ads that feature Mark and his son soon.  Not sure if there was a repeat ad or not.  For some reason the site is not letting me upload files that are under the 150 KB limit right now.  It is telling me that the upload file folder is full.  I've never run into this problem before.  As soon as it lets me, I will post more.  Stay tuned.

Here is a national ad from Chevrolet for the 1968 Camaro Z/28 (notice the change from hyphen to slash this year).  Interesting to note, the car in the ad is a Rally Sport with the doors open and headlights on.

Here is an ad for Champion Spark Plugs from 1968 featuring the 1968 Penske Camaro.  Since the caption under the picture of the car states, "Champion sparks Mark Donohue's Camaro to SCCA Trans-American Sedan Championship," the ad must have run in the magazines some time in the fall of 1968.  The picture was found on an ebay auction from Autolit.

Here is a 1969 ad for Sears DieHard batteries featuring the 1969 Penske Camaro of Mark Donohue.  Since the first paragraph states, "Chalk up another Trans-Am Championship for Roger Penske, as his Camaros cinched the title at Sonoma, Calif., and mopped up the series with a 1-2 finish at Riverside," this ad must have run in the fall of 1969.

A larger version of the ad can be seen in this ebay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-ROGER-PENSKE-SUNOCO-CAMARO-TRANS-AM-WINNER-RARE-SEARS-DIEHARD-AD-/390565258079?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aef80e35f#ht_738wt_729

Here is a 1970 Valvoline ad featuring the 1970 Chaparral Camaro.  It appeared in the program for the October 4, 1970 running of the Mission Bell 200 at Riverside International Raceway, Riverside California.  It's interesting to note that their are no front or rear spoilers on the car, so the picture must have been taken early in the year, perhaps in testing at Hall's personal test track in Texas.  I wonder if this ad appeared in all of the Trans Am programs throughout the year?  The ad also mentions Jim Hall as a driver but by the time this ad appeared in this program, he was no longer the driver of the car.  This picture appeared in a thread on this website.

Now it's time for the Firebirds.  Here is a Champion Spark Plug ad from 1969 that shows the Daytona 24 hour class winning and third overall 1968 Firebird of Jerry Titus and Jon Ward.  The race started on February 1st and finished 24 hours later on February 2nd, so the ad could have appeared any time after that.

Here is a national Pontiac ad for the 1969 Firebird Trans Am.  The car was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show in February of 1969 so the ad must have appeared sometime after that.  The ad in my collection is a three page, fold out ad on the inside cover of the May 1969 edition of Car and Driver.  The one pictured is a little different but probably appeared at the same time.

Now it's time for Dodge.

Here is a 1966 Quaker State ad that features the 1966 Dodge Dart of Bob Tullius (and his Triumph TR-4).  It talks about him winning the Marlboro 12-hour race at Marlboro Park Speedway, Upper Marlboro, Maryland on August 14, 1966.  This was the fifth race on the 1966 Trans Am schedule.

Here is a 1970 national Plymouth ad for the 1970 AAR 'Cuda.  It must have appeared before the start of the season because it talks about Plymouth having a lot of catching up to do.  The paint job on the race car is not the same as when they raced it during the season.  To read the copy, see the larger version here: http://www.lhmopars.com/MOPAR_Ads/70aarad1.html

I forgot to put this one with the Challengers.  It is from a multi-page ad introducing the 1971 Dodge Scat Pack of performance cars and it appeared at new model year introduction time in the fall of 1970.  It introduces the 1971 Challenger T/A but when Chrysler decided not to race in the 1971 series, they didn't produce any T/A Challengers for the 1971 model year.  Note the 1971 style grill.  It looks like they used a color picture from the same photo shoot used in the 1970 ad (in reply #44 of this thread) for this ad and only changed it by airbrushing in the new grill for 1971.  Advertisers do this sort of thing all the time when there are only minor styling changes.

The second picture is the first page of the multi-paged ad it appeared in.

Now for Cougar

Here is an ad for Castrol featuring the 1967 Bud Moore prepared Mercury Cougar.  The copy leads me to believe it appeared early in 1967 before the Trans Am series began contesting races.  It states, "Dan Gurney will captain Team Cougar," and "Indy star Parnelli Jones will be the lead driver."  It also shows the entire 1967 series schedule.

And now, the Javelins

Amercan Motors (AMC) seemed to get the most advertising out of its participation in the Trans Am series.  There are several ads for the Javelin that talk about its involvment in the Trans Am between 1968 and 1972. 

This national ad from 1968 talks about how the Team Javelins didn't win the Trans Am race at Sebring International Raceway, Sebring,  Florida on March 23, 1968.

This national ad from 1968 talks about Team Javelins experience in the Trans Am race at War Bonnet Raceway, New Manford, Oklahoma on May 12, 1968, so it must have appeared shortly after that.

Here is a national ad from American Motors touting the 1970 Javelin SST Trans Am.  Only 100 were made in the special red, white, and blue paint scheme.  While I'm not sure, I think the ad appeared in the fall of 1969.  The fact that the 1969 Trans Am season was still being contested in the fall of 1969 would explain the appearance of the 1969 Kaplan Javelin in the ad.   After looking at this ad I just realized something I never noticed before.  The 100 specially painted 1970 Javelin SST's are painted the opposite of how the Penske race cars would run the 1970 season.  The production cars had a red front and blue back while the race cars had a blue front with red back.

Here is another American Motors national ad featuring the special Trans-Am Victory package for their 1973 Javelin.  Notice the picture of George Follmer and Roy Woods.  I don't think I have ever seen one of these cars with the special "Trans Am winner medallion on the side panel."

According to wikipedia, "The package was available on cars built from October to December 15, 1972, on any Javelin SST, except with the Cardin interior.  A single magazine advertisement, featuring the winning race drivers George Follmer and Roy Woods, promoted the special package.  Cars that were ordered with the visibility group, light group, insulation group, protection group, and sports-style steering wheel, received at no additional cost (but valued at $167.45) a large "Javelin Winner Trans Am Championship 1971-1972 SCCA" fender decals on the lower portion behind the front wheel openings, as well as 8-slot rally styled steel wheels with E70X14 Polyglass raised while letter tires and a "Space-Saver" spare tire. The Trans Am Victory cars were also more heavily optioned than regular production Javelins."

The second picture is a reproduction of the medallion I found on ebay.

Now its time for the Mustangs

Here is an interesting one.  It is an ad for Amalie Oil featuring the Mustang of Dale Wood at the 1966 Sebring 4-hour endurance race.  When I first found it I thought it was the #4 Mustang driven by A.J. Foyt in the Four Hour Governor's Cup for Sedans (the first Trans Am event) at Sebring Circuit, Sebring, Florida on March 25, 1966 because they are both white 1966 Mustangs, they both have the #4 and they both raced at some type of 4 hour race at Sebring.  I am not sure what the 4-hour endurance race mentioned in the ad was.  Dale Wood does not appear in the list of drivers for the Trans Am four hour race and there obviously could not have been two Mustangs with the same number racing in the same event.  There must have been another 4 hour race on the same day.  I can not find any information on this event anywhere.  Does anyone have the program for the 1966 12 hours of Sebring?  This should have the schedule for the preliminary races that took place the day before the 12 hour race.  It might also shed some light on what other cars were in this race.

The ad in my collection is from June 1966.

Here is another ad for Amalie Oil featuring the 1966 Mustang of Dale Wood.  It states his "289 Mustang was undefeated in SCCA National events in 1966."  Looking at the results from the 1966 season in the Dave Friedman book, "Trans Am: The Pony Car Wars, 1966-1972," an entry for a Wood/Van Beuren driven Mustang did not finish the Mid-America Trans-Am Sedan Championship race at Mid-America Raceways, Wentzville, Missouri on June 12, 1966.  There is also an entry for a Wood/Dundas driven Mustang that did not finish the the Marlboro 12 hour race at Marlboro Park Speedway, Upper Marlboro, Maryland on August 14, 1966.  There is also an entry for a Wood/Dundas Mustang that did not finish the Pan American Endurance Race at Green Valley Raceway, Smithfield, Texas on September 10, 1966.  If it is the same car it had great success in SCCA national events but couldn't finish any of the three Trans Am races it was entered in.

As you can see, the ad appeared in the April 1967 issue of Motor Trend.

That would explain it.  No wonder the car looks so similar.  I'm not too well versed on the 1966 season. I got confused because in Dave Friedmans book there is a picture of the car at Sebring and it states that, "Foyt led the first 32 laps in Dale Brown's privately entered Mustang...."  "Brown" must have been a typo.  Thanks Jon.  I also find it interesting that Foyt is not mentioned in the "Sebring" ad since he was undoubtedly one of the most famous drivers at the time!

Hard to speculate why they did the ad like that. I agree that AJ was one of the biggest names in the business at that time so it doesn't make sense on that level.

Here is an ad from 1967 for Ring Free Racing Formula Motor Oil featuring Jerry Titus and his Sebring Trans Am race winning 1967 Shelby Mustang.  As you can see, this one appeared in October of 1967, but since Sebring occurred in March the ad could probably have been seen earlier as well.

Here is an ad for Castrol XLR featuring the 1969 Bud Moore Boss 302 Mustang of Parnelli Jones.  As you can see, this ad appeared in June of 1969 but the picture appears to have been taken before the season started because the car doesn't have it's signature Boss 302 side stripes and all of the other advertising.  It also features a side mounted gas filler.  It looks to be the car Parnelli Jones drove in the Florida Citrus 250 NASCAR Grand Touring Race at Daytona International Speedway, Daytona, Florida on February 21, 1969.

Here is a similar ad for Castrol XLR but it obviously ran after the June 7, 1970 Trans Am race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, Ohio which was the fourth consecutive win for the Bud Moore 1970 Boss 302 Mustangs.  It has a different headline and first paragraph but the pictures and other paragraphs are the same as the one from earlier in the year.  As you can see, this ad appeared in Car and Driver.

Looking at the Berger ad again, what is an "Amaro?"  I looked up "Amaro" and "Berger Amaro" on the internet and couldn't find anything relating to cars.  On the other hand, Amaro is an Italian Herbal Liquor.  Was this just a typo of the word "Camaro" or was Berger selling alcohol too?  LOL!

Great Z28 ads Jon, I have never seen either one before.

Yes, it's very curious that Chevy had a rear spoiler in mind for quite awhile, but never released it as an option for 67.

Fantastic stuff Jon!  It's cool to see how the dealers promoted the Z28 and their racing success back then because General Motors sure didn't do much nationally.

Spence Chevrolet in Daytona Beach was a high performance dealership. Note they are even advertising L88 powered Camaros.

It was actually my father.  He was going to upgrade to Motion equip back in the day but changed his mind and swapped out the 375hp 396 for a 69 COPO 427 and then swapped back due to the 427 not pulling as hard as the 396..  So now I have the envelope and info from Motion.

The car.

No its a vinyl top.  All original, never painted nor vinyl been replaced.  He used this on the vinyl followed by good ole Armor All for many years. 




Couple of guys here know the car very well z28z11 & rare396bronze and also knew my father for many, many years.

A couple additional performance dealer ads from Car Craft, January 1969. I remember how common it was to see Camaro misspelled. Nowadays, my computer's auto spell check likes to change Camaro to "Camry". Of all things, HA!

Village Chevrolet in Queens Village, New York was big into performance and their
performance sales representative Pete Dodd ran a '68 Z/28 in the Trans-Am series in 1970.




Here's a color photo of the same car from the ad. The setting is claimed to be Central Park in NYC but I have no idea if that's factual.
This is the actual Camaro that Pete Dodd raced in the Trans-Am series but at this time it had only run in A/Sedan events.

Here is an ad for Valvoline featuring the 1968 Pontiac Firebird of Jerry Titus and John Ward that finished first in class and third overall in the 1969 Daytona 24 hour race.  The race started at approximately 3:00pm eastern standard time on Saturday, February 1st and ended twenty four hours later on Sunday, February 2, 1969.  The obviously appeared sometime after that.  While the race was not a part of the Trans Am series this year, a large field of cars was entered in the Trans Am class.  I found the ad here on this web site.  I believe Jon Mello posted it.

And now for the under 2.0 liter Trans Am cars, starting with Alfa Romeo.

This ad for the 1966 Alfa Romeo Guilia GTA appeared in the race program for the 1966 Four Hour Governor's Cup for Sedans (First Trans Am race)/12- hours of Sebring Sports Car race at Sebring Circuit, Sebring, Florida.  The Trans Am race took place on March 25, 1966 and the 12-hour race followed the next day.  I found the ad here on this web site.  I believe Jon Mello posted it.

Now it's time for the Under 2.0 liter Porsche ads.

Here is an ad for Champion Spark Plugs that features the 1968 Porsche 911 of Tony Adamowicz.  The ad states: "piloting his Porsche 911 to five class victories in a row, Tony Adamowicz captures the 1968 under-2-liter Trans-American Championship--sparked by Champions."  Since it mentions his 1968 Championship the ad must have appeared in late 1968 after he clinched.

And now for the Datsuns.

Here is an ad for the Datsun 510 that features the Peter Brock Datsuns.  The #46 in the front was driven by John Morton.  Since the ad mentions that they have been "winning with unbelievable regularity" and there is no mention of a championship, I believe this one ran sometime during the 1971 season.

Jon, cool ad.  I see that your file for it is named "Oct 12 1968."  Is this the date of the newspaper or magazine that this ad appeared in?  What publication was it?  The reason I ask is that the Z28 pictured in the ad has the "Super Scoop" ZL2 hood on it.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that this option was introduced sometime in December 1968, first for the COPO cars and then for the SS and Z28?  If the date of the ad is correct then they must have used a picture of a 1969 Camaro Z28 wearing a pre-production ZL2 hood.  Interesting that they would have teased something like this a full 3 months before it was introduced for production.

Scott, the date of the photo is correct and taken from the issue of Competition Press & Autoweek that it was found in. The first appearance of the cowl induction hood was on the 1 of 1 '68 Z/28 convertible owned by Chevrolet's Pete Estes. That hood was probably put on the car by the GM Tech Center and not as a production line component but it was present on the car when it paced the '68 Can-Am race at Road America. The second application of the cowl hood that I have seen is on the car shown in the Berger ad. This was a car used by Chevrolet for its new car introductions for '69 and it appeared in a large number of road tests in the fall of '68 as well as some print ads. You are correct that the first use of the cowl induction hood as a production line component was at the end of December '68 when they made their debut on the ZL-1 Camaros.

Actually, before I get beat up too bad, the correct terminology for that hood is the ZL-2 hood or Super Scoop hood. The cowl induction name did not appear until it was first used on the 1970 Chevelle Super Sports.

Jon, thanks for the info.  I remember the hood being on the "Estes" Z28 convertible but forgot to mention it in my post.  By the way, where did the picture of it come from.  I have not seen that one.  Was it taken at the 1968 Road America Can Am race?  I have been looking for "period" pictures of that car and have not seen the one you posted.  Do you have any more?  I started a thread going on this car about a year and a half ago at the Camaro Pace Car forum.  In it you can see the picture of the car in pit lane at the 1968 Road America Can Am race with Stirling Moss in the drivers seat and two other pictures taken by Dave Friedman showing it entering pit lane just before the Can Am cars got the green flag to start the race.  See the thread here: http://camaropacecars.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3100015833/m/4581033336

Scott, that is a GM photo taken at the Tech Center, I believe. I have another one with the hood up which I'll have to post later.
I think I may have a color one of the car on the track as well. It came from ebay.

Here's the picture of the engine compartment from 1968 showing a 1x4 manifold/carb with a 2x4 air cleaner set-up.


Here's a shot of the engine compartment as of a couple of years ago.


Denis Hulme and Sterling Moss rode in the back of the Estes Z/28 convertible after Hulme won the Road America Can-Am race, Sept 1, 1968.

Jon, that is a fantastic color photo of the car during the victory lap at Road America.  I remember you mentioning that you attended several races there when you were a kid.  Were you at this race?   Did you or a family member take this picture?  If so, what part of the track was it?  To me it kind of looks like the area between Canada Corner and the old bridge leading into the paddock, known as Thunder Valley.  Would you mind if I include it in my thread over at the Camaro Pace Car web site that I mentioned in an earlier post?  These are the kinds of pictures I have been searching for and I know there are others who would love to see it.  Thanks!

If you were at the 1968 Can Am race, did you also attend the race the year before in 1967?  If so, do you have any personal photos of the 1967 Camaro Cherokee that was used to pace the race?  I have made several contributions to a thread about that car as well.  If you are interested see it here: http://camaropacecars.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3100015833/m/4950009635

Scott, I didn't start going to Road America until 1970 so I didn't take that color photo of the Camaro pace car. I saw the photo on ebay and honestly, I don't remember who the seller was or even if I won the auction or not. I know it was a slide and I have won lots of slides. Right now, I don't have the time to go through them all to see if I physically have it or not. If you want to post it elsewhere, I'm OK with that.

It's just a double-groove alternator pulley but I don't know what it was used on originally. You can see in the 1968 photo the car had the usual large diameter single-groove pulley that came stock on the Z/28s and it was running a smog pump and exhaust manifolds back then also. Now there are headers and no smog pump.

Here is a cool picture taken by Dave Friedman at the Glen 500 Trans Am race at Watkins Glen, New York on August 10, 1969.  It shows a neat Chevy Camaro Z28 advertising sign located in the pits just above the Penske Camaro.  Does anyone know what the rest of the tagline says? It is part of the Dave Friedman Collection at The Henry Ford.  See a larger and clearer version here: http://thehenryford.artehouse.com/perl/magnify_popup.pl?imageID=178510&staticImage=C&ckon=image&alt=0

Scott, the date of the photo is correct and taken from the issue of Competition Press & Autoweek that it was found in. The first appearance of the cowl induction hood was on the 1 of 1 '68 Z/28 convertible owned by Chevrolet's Pete Estes. That hood was probably put on the car by the GM Tech Center and not as a production line component but it was present on the car when it paced the '68 Can-Am race at Road America. The second application of the cowl hood that I have seen is on the car shown in the Berger ad. This was a car used by Chevrolet for its new car introductions for '69 and it appeared in a large number of road tests in the fall of '68 as well as some print ads. You are correct that the first use of the cowl induction hood as a production line component was at the end of December '68 when they made their debut on the ZL-1 Camaros.

There is a highly documented hugger orange LA Z28 built 2nd or 3rd week dec with ZL2 and paper out the rear... it is now the earliest known ZL2 accompanied by supporting docs.

I just found this cool ad for the 1969 Javelin race team.  It looks to be on the backside of the cover of the 1969 Road America June Sprints race program.  It is currently for sale on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1969-ROAD-AMERICA-June-Sprints-PROGRAM-Elkhart-Lake-WI-SCCA-Paul-Newman/162692702339?hash=item25e13da083:g:fV8AAOSwpaxZ0BVo

Here is an advertisement for the Parish Oil Co., Inc. featuring the Mark Donahue driven #6 1970 Penske Sunoco Javelin.  It appeared in the souvenir program for the 1970 rainout edition of the Modified Sportsman 150 held at Oswego Speedway, Oswego, New York.
