That's awesome! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif What a great piece of Chevrolet and Camaro history. I love seeing these old race cars(drag and road race)being restored to their old glory.

Awesome story. I can't wait to see it brought back to its former racing glory! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again - the cars (and the accompanying stories) belonging to people on this board are simply mind boggling. Wow!

What's that thing on the driver's door that looks like an inside rear-view mirror? It's inside the white number circle ahead of the 4. You can see the SW guages through the wing window in the top photo at Daytona.

Looks like an outline for Daytona https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Jon Mello's Z/28 #1
 

Thanks again to all. The thing next to the number 4 is a number light. The car was running in a 24 hour race at Daytona and the scorers needed a way to keep track of the cars after sundown. The red Mustang driven by Jerry Titus did not have a light on it because I believe they were using a big glow-in-the-dark white background behind their number 1.

I have attached a page which shows Z28s #16-25. I have VIN numbers for 10 of these first 25 and lots of partial information on many of the others. It is my hope to someday account for all of these first 25 cars in one way or another. I am working on a long term book project concerning the '67 Z28 and the personalities involved with them. I have had four '67 Z28s. Wish I still had all four but at least I still have 50%! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I agree that there are some really incredible cars owned by people who frequent this website. Thanks to all the others who have shared their stories as well. Let's help out Belair and keep him stocked up with member's rides features! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
