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.

Frank, I had most of those 67 Z photos on display at SCR last year... you had your nose buried so far in my other displays you didn't have time to look at my "good" memorabilia.

Stefano,

I have been meaning to ask you about the Nickey '67 Z-28s. I own the Johnny Moore car which you have on your list. I have gathered a bunch of information on many of the first 25 Z-28s that Chevrolet built but have never heard much at all about the Nickey cars. I don't even know what color they were, let alone if they were ever raced. Was Don Swiatek able to provide further details about the cars and what may have happened to them? I definitely would love to hear more about them if you can share any details.

Joe, those are some great pictures of those very early Yenko Z-28s. Thanks for sharing. That one on the track in March is definitely early but my car had already run in the Daytona Trans-Am on February 3rd along with the Mark Donohue (#12), Craig Fisher (#14) and Joie Chitwood (#21) Z-28s. I think they were probably getting that Yenko car ready for the Sebring Trans-Am which was run at the end of March.

-Jon
