I'm pretty sure the Pitt Trans Am racer is still on the vintage circuit. It was a twin to the Mark Donahue cars, and is owned by John Miller out of Indiana.

That was a tribute car.

I think a worthy addition would be Dick Harrell's funny car.

I think the blue ZL1 with the white top and the RS option, is my favorite camaro. That should be there. The best looking baddest one on the planet.

I also think a tribute/clone (the best one out there) representing the ZL1 prototype. Everyone talks about that car, why not have something to stir up conversation at the show. Its a thought.

(Paceme's black L78 convert). Coolest camaro convert on planet. 4 spd. That represents a work of art of all the first gen camaro's.

The blue L89 convert that is in Kevin Suydam's collection. That is pretty rare.

The 67 Indy Pace Car that paced the race that I think Charlie owns or owned.

Just my 2 cents, limit the amount of '68 and '69 cars that get featured in 2017 since the 50th anniversary of those cars follows right behind and they will get their day in the sun. Why shortchange the '67s?

How about Grumpy's '67 L78?

Fred Gibb &quot;Little Hoss&quot;

Dick Guldstrand's Trans-Am Dana Camaro

Did Kevin Suydam ever restore this car and/or did an NCRS report say if it was a Dana? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...2&amp;page=all

I went with a friend to Europe last February and we brought back the original Penske/Donohue '67 Trans-Am Camaro that went to Europe in '68. That hopefully will be restored in time for the MCACN show.

I would like to have all of the surviving first 25 '67 Z-28s built at the show, which would be 8 cars and 2 engines.

It would be great to have the Jack Douglass (Hinsdale, IL) sponsored '67 Trans-Am Camaro there as well as an original Brigance '67 Z that my friend owns since they are originally local to the area. An original Nickey '67 Z would be included as one of the first 25 cars.

I really don't care for the car itself, but the gold '67 &quot;First Camaro&quot; probably deserves an invite. The actual '67 Indy 500 Pace Car for sure, the first Z/28 is a no-brainer, Estes' Z convert., and I think I agree with the thought of predominantly '67 model years. Were the &quot;Fitchbirds&quot; '67 or '68s? Smokey's stuff is cool and under-appreciated in my opinion, so any verified ties to him would be a welcomed guest I think. This will require some more thinking!
