OK, Very Nice! I was actually searching for any RAW data, dated pics, or anything of the sort acknowleging any 1967 Camaros in Road Race circles; ie: like any of the original cars that were Raced back in competition in the early 67 year worldwide. I would also like to get my hands on a set of those DANA License Plate Frames! Thanx for your efforts! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

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.

Can you make heads or tales out of this engine pad stamping? This short block saw the light of day in a long time yesterday when I delivered it to the rightful new owner. It reads: D.C. 301...001

If I remember correctly,the original assembly is V0227M and maybe half of a O . The casting date:2-14-7 and casting # 657.
If you look at the first picture,right in the middle front of the engine pad you might be able to make out a little oval stamped with the name Traco. |
