Nice shot of the Fred Gibb Camaro even though it was beat by a 10.82/129 by the Hemi

Very cool pic.

The car was only a month old at that time. It had one carb vs 2-4s on the Hemi. That was a respectable E.T. at that point in time.

In fact, I think that picture was taken at it's maiden voyage. The story I always heard was it almost beat Sox & Martin Hemi it's first time out. Well you know how stories are. That get better thru the years!!

That is a great picture!! I believe that was the maiden voyage probably right after DH and Fred made some test runs at KCIR. I wish the resto on that car was like that instead of the later version! Wonder where that hood is?

Keep in mind that Vanke had full factory backing from Chrysler. What did Gibb get from GM?
