67 "Black Panther"

[1967Z28]

Here is a picture from Dave Friedman's Trans-Am book showing one of the 1967 Z28s that Gorries turned into a Black Panther. The car is being driven by Craig Fisher at the '67 Sebring TA race. Craig Fisher was the first driver to score points for Chevrolet (and for Pontiac too in 1968) in the Trans-Am series. He finished 2nd in the first race of the '67 season at Daytona. He tends to be an underrated driver but was actually very good. He joined Penske's race team as Mark Donohue's teammate halfway through the '67 season.
