Little Hoss Story
I am one of the previous caretakers of the Fred Gibb Chevrolet 1967 Z28 known as "Little Hoss". I met Helen Gibb at the 1st Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show in 1999.
I put together a history of the car for Helen, around 2002, using her personal dealership archives. Most of the articles are from either the local paper, the Quill, or the AHRA weekly publication DragWorld. The pictures are from Helen Gibb, and the Fred Gibb Chevrolet Race Cars Album. Enjoy!

Little Hoss Story
Continued story. Helen was pleased when Lane Automotive selected Little Hoss as one of the 1967 Camaro models they made in the early 2000's. I worked with Lane Automotive with the details required to make an exact rendition of Little Hoss when 1st run in 1967.
A funny story about page 10 of the story. Helen said Herb Fox lost her Mink stole when he red-lighted at the World Finals in Kansas City in October 1968 during the semi's. The page of the Banquet shows the winner of the stole, Mrs. James Bowman. About 35 years later, when Herb launched Little Hoss with me riding shotgun at the 2002(?) Super Car reunion in St. Louis, he red-lighted again! His last 2 time running Little Hoss.
