Re: 67 "Black Panther"
I got your scan. Thank you very much for that. I am still working on permission to post a pic of the other car. Will let you know.
BTW, a "Spring race" at Mosport with a June 3rd date? I was assuming you were going to tell me it was earlier that mid-May, not later. -Jon 1967 Z28 street car 1967 Z28 Trans-Am race car 1967 Z28 Registry

Re: 67 "Black Panther"
Interesting. Attached is a photo of Craig's race car at the Lime Rock Trans-Am on May 30th, 1967, just two weeks later. It is repainted and the RS equipment is removed. I believe it to be the same car as the BP. Note that the number light is in the same exact place on the door. It would be great to find some pics of the car Craig was racing at Mt. Tremblant on May 21st and see what it looked like. The dark car with the white nose stripe is definitely Bob Brown's car and not Craig Fisher's.

Re: 67 "Black Panther"
Unfortunately I have not heard back regarding permission to show Craig's BP street car. I can say that the race car was black with a gold interior and the street car was black with a black interior, both with RS equipment. I have attached a picture from an old Motor Trend showing some of the engine compartment of Craig's race car. The photo was taken at Daytona in early February '67. You can see the cowl plenum air cleaner and the duct appears to be painted white.

Re: 67 "Black Panther"
You're welcome. This is the kind of stuff that turns my crank. I will be writing a book on the subject of old Camaro race cars and their mostly unknown drivers. Lots of people know about Penske & Donohue and that's great. I just think it's fun to shine the light on some other people as well.
