Default Thompson Raceway Park OH raced 67 Camaro

Hi all.

Iīm trying to research info on a recent purchase, a 67 RS/SS.
It has a Thompson Raceway sticker on itīs side window and overall it is in pretty bad shape. To my (untrained) eye itīs clearly been raced and not just for fun.
Trim tag reads
765-Z F-2
2LG 3SL
4P 5Y
Multi-leaf 12bolt with 4.56

Iīd appreciate any info on this Camaro. Thompson Raceway Park has good web pages but no vintage pictures.

Not much additional info on the car, sorry to say.
Apparently color theme has been like it is now so hoping to find maybe a picture or even race results or something to ponder on results...

Thanks.

I like the tach location...although maybe hard to read while shifting at high RPMs with that rear...

That scoop also the inside A-pillar tach may stand out in old pics?
If you haven't seen 'em yet, here's a couple links w/ old Thompson Dragway footage to try searching...

My home track, dont remember the car but more outside shots would be nice. Also there is a Thompson 60's, 70'&amp; 80's page and they have a current page on FB.

Does the rear look like its not centered in wheelwell??? maybe the leaf springs and shackles make it look that way??? I once had a rear slide forward on one side when the bolt was broke that goes thru the leaf spring

It looks better in pictures than it is, the floor is completely rotted through as you can see the rear seat belts dragging on the ground.
There is no floor where the leaf springs attach in front and the rear end is basically held in itīs place with shocks and traction bars...
Itīs a Flintstone car, the interior picture lies A LOT. There is no floor to speak of.
Ohio title... will twenty-something years in outdoors OH do this? Maybe in a barn.. donīt know.
