Default Re: Is there any info available on 67 DANA Camaros

With regard to cars prepared for road racing by DANA, four cars were built in DANA's shops in 1967, all primarily by Bobby Joe McDonald. Two were SS350s taken right off the lot in mid-January (the Z-28 was not available in California that early). These two cars were prepared for Dick Guldstrand and Tom Lynch and both raced at the Sebring Trans Am race at the end of March '67. Both of these cars are accounted for. The Lynch car only resurfaced within the last couple of months. The other two cars were real '67 Z-28s which were ordered new by Ron Tonkin Chevrolet in Portland and sent to DANA for road race preparation. Both of these cars were damaged in a trailering accident in August '67 and there is conflicting evidence as to whether the cars were rebuilt or destroyed after that. The whereabouts of the DANA-prepared Tonkin cars, if they exist, is currently unknown.
