Nice piece...any idea what TA events she was in?

I'm not even a Camaro owner any longer and I still check the Trans Am section almost every day...Thank you Jon and everyone else that contributes. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

With kind thanks to Justin McCutcheon for bringing this to my attention,

Previously I'd posted a link to the David Friedman Collection maintained by the Benson Ford Research Center at The Henry Ford.  Then it had just been launched, with but a rudimentary taste afforded concerning just what might be sampled - presumably on-site or via correspondence with archivists on the scene.  The later is still very much possible of course, but I didn't monitor matters to fully understand and/or appreciate how much is now simply up and accessible for little effort made.  Now a very enviable and powerful resource - a very mature and web-friendly archive waiting for you to inspect in detail.  Do see:

P.S. Afford them feedback consistent with correcting errors of classification and identification made to help sort matters out.  As this was written, the '69 Mission Bell 250 file was actually from '68.  Also say THANK YOU! 

Fantastic photos, I found a couple of my Kurtis 500S that I have never seen before from Riverside.  A good use of 2 hours...thank you!

That is one mean looking street Camaro.

The fine folks at HTA have posted the 2013 Trans Am photos, Jimmy Houston does a great job behind the camera and photos are available for purchase:

Looks great! 

She looks fantastic in Green.  Just one suggestion that I'm sure you have thought of...change that fuel cell. 

Dig the Gurney Boss!

Nice!

Wish I could have been there!

Sonoma event photo's are up:

Nice!

This looks like a nice recreation of a Penske car.

Dig the license plate...

Neat car, is that the one Conley had for sale a few months ago?

This is a great thread, Jon.  So much documentation on a year that doesn't get much attention from more current retrospectives.

And Robert, thanks for contributing so much to this effort.
