Track testing...probably the first time a race-prepped 67 Z ever hit the pavement! Note the date, March 1967, also note the snow still on the ground... How cool is this?

At speed...full race 67 Z/28, March 1967...I think it's safe to say that Yenko was the one to beat in 67... keep in mind they also converted 50+ SS cars to 427s this same year too....in addition to continuing with the Corvair Stinger program, Sunray D-X L88 corvettes, etc.
