So things just got significantly more interesting about this car! There was a faint name on the passenger door, Ron Thorson, that was vaguely familiar. I googled it and a car I recognized from western South Dakota popped up. I spoke with a buddy of mine out there and he knows Ron's brother.

So we spoke today. Ron had a black with white stripe '68 442 called Mother Skunk that he raced in 68. He was a salesman at an Olds dealership, so was always buying, selling, and racing cars that came through the dealership. He raced all over the upper midwest - South Dakota, Nebraska, and Montana. Sadly Ron passed away a couple years ago, but his brother still owns the 442.

He thought his brother raced the Camaro in 73/74. He sold it rolling with no motor/tranny. He kept it to put in another Camaro race car. And, he came up with some pics of the car at the track!

The placement of Ron's name on the passenger door is spot on to what I see on the car. Kind of different to see Spyder wheels too, and his brother said he was sponsored by Motor Wheel. From the SS/LA class he had put an automatic in it. And, now I know it had rear bumper guards on it too.
