Degnan Chevrolet Philadelphia PA - ZL1

[PeteLeathersac]

Sounds like a very cool car and welcome aboard Brian!
I expect you meant the NCRS confirmed the car was shipped to Degnan but no matter and looking forward to hearing more about it also please know we really love pictures here!

Here are few images of the car. It's rough but I feel it has some unique options and history. It's an X66 car but was painted up to look like a Z28.

Missed these and thanks a lot for posting Brian!
You're right and it's certainly dripping w/ coolness, best of luck uncovering anything of its past!
Do you know if the rear axle is original and what tube stamping it has?

Just checking back on this one hoping for another update.
Cruising for more info on Bob Litchko's Schmidt's Beer car indicates it may originally have been Blue, what color was it w/ the Schmidt's livery as it looks Red in the blurry pic above?
If Blue, was it Lemans or Dusk Blue also what of the 2x DB M21 cars on the list here as Gibb delivered, known as definitely delivered by Gibb or possibles for the missing Degnan/Litchko/Schmidt's car?

Found another blurry Schmidt's paint pic which appears to be Red/Gold/White.
Came upon a Ewing Bros. '69 sponsored by Schmidt's too but looks to be a different car?

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.
