Rough condition but there's a Degnan Emblem currently on eBay @ this link below.
It's the bottom one of these two in the pic, the upper one missing the T sold on eBay in Dec.

Here's a shot of Bob Litchko's '67 Camaro 'Agitation' also w/ Schmidt's sponsorship, cool too is the Soul Survivor in the other lane.
Probably the car Bob was running before the ZL1 also likely not Degnan delivered, others please speak up if more info.:hmmm:

Sorry I didn't connect the dots earlier but looks like Morgan above is a past owner of the original engine from Bob Litchko's Degnan delivered ZL1 as this 2003 thread...

Found another pic of the Degnan ZL1 in Litchko/Schmidt's paint.
Looks to be on display somewhere, possibly a PA auto show?
Love to nail down which specific ZL1 this car was?:hmmm:

Came upon one more pic of Bob Litchko's ZL1 in Schmidt's livery as below.
We've come this far but still haven't confirmed the Vin yet, an unaccounted for/real ZL1!

I'm good friends with Gary and Wayne Ewing; older brother Ken passed away a few years ago. The "Schmidt's" sponsored car they campaigned was originally an Olympic Gold Z/28 That Gary and Wayne STILL race in Super Stock. Funny thing, their car and my car ("Anderson Olds W-31") ran each other when new in F/S. Their Z/28 only saw street use for a few weeks before becoming a dedicated race car; my car started racing the weekend after it hit the dealership.
The Schmidt's sponsorship paid for race entry fees, support costs, and the guys were paid $10.00 an hour if attending a car show promoting the beer.

I'll see if Gary Ewing knows or remembers Bob Litchko…..they may have pitted together or been together at some events back in the sponsorship years.

Gary says there were 6 cars sponsored by Schmidt’s from Maine to Florida.

Great info and thanks for checking in w/ Gary!
Did he know Bob Litchko or have any idea if he's still around also any of the other Schmidt's sponsored racers...Rudy Rosa w/ the 67 as below pic?
