Re: 67 "Black Panther"

Thanks for the pic. Had not seen that previously. Looks like the start of the "Trans-Am type" of race held at Mt. Tremblant (St. Jovite) in 1967. Guldstrand won the race in the DANA sponsored Camaro. I have seen it put in print that Guldstrand won the first Trans-Am race for the Camaro. That really is not 100% accurate. This race at Mt. Tremblant was not sanctioned by the SCCA and was not an official TA race on the schedule that year (it was during the '68 season but not in '67). The factory teams did not attend the race so it was more of an A-sedan race than anything else. This is not to disrespect Guldstrand, DANA or anybody else. Just stating the facts. I am not currently aware of who drove the other Camaro in the race. If you have that information, I would appreciate knowing it. Thanks.
