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.

My attachment shows a Yenko Stormer (302 Z-28) which was driven by Bud Gates at the Sebring Trans-Am on 3-31-67. It was a red Z-28 ordered through Span and was part of a two-car Yenko team at Sebring. I'm pretty confident it is the same car as posted by camarojoe above.

Here's a shot of the same Z's interior as it was being taken apart for race prep. You can see the Fisher Body sill plates up on the dash, the same as in camarojoe's picture a couple of posts above this one. I guess part of the same photo shoot.

What or who was Span? They used a Marina City address?
