Bob Jane Racing Heritage - Camaro ZL-1 #33 & #52

[BJRHeritage]

Hello to all,

This is our first post on this forum. Australian Motor Racing Legend, Bob Jane purchased two Camaro ZL-1's from Jim Rathmann, 2 x Indy Winner, from Rathmann Chevrolet in Melbourne, Florida in early 1970. Being (Hugger Orange) #33 & (Dusk Blue) #52. The Camaro's were then road tripped to California and shipped to Australia (a story here). In 1971 & 72 Bob Jane won the ATCC (Australian Touring Car Championship)in the #33 ZL-1. The #52 Camaro ZL-1 was setup as a Drag Car.

To preserve the history of Bob Jane's Camaro's and indeed Bob's history in Australian Motor Racing, a new Website is being created to celebrate the Australian racing legend, and his colourful and fascinating history, both in the motorsport and automotive industries. We have also created a Facebook Page, http://www.facebook.com/BobJaneOfficial to share stories and photo's and give fans the opportunity to connect with Bob jane.

We will add the history of the two ZL-1's purchased from Jim Rathmann, including the journey these Camaro's took in Australia. As well as the #33's restoration, thank you.
