Good work, it was Dick Lannen.

There was also a second driver when it was under Shalla Chevrolet, any idea who he is?

Nope - while it was under Shalla Chevrolet, it was also driven by Bill Passion

Which car? All I have scanned in of our '67 is on my webpage. I have a bunch of what it looked like when we 'found' it at the Detroit Autorama back in the late 80's but I haven't posted them.

I don't have any images of the 'Killer' Camaro
