Default Re: '67 Festival Pace Car

There were NO Smokey Z's. There were several engines and even more sets of heads and intakes that were built by Chevrolet and sent to Smokey for evaluation but no cars were ever built. There was a auction at Smokeys a few years back and the engines got sold. The silver one in the magazine was just a Z28 that Reggie Jackson put one of the engines in. All the lettering on the car and headrests has been added lately by the current owner. The cars are nothing more than neat engine stands. Mine was built by Dave Tinell for Carl Dwiggins with another engine from the same auction. Reggie still has a complete engine on a stand. I think Dick Bridges might have also had a engine installed in a car.
