DANA Chevrolet 1967 Trans Am Camaro

[DANA/TA]

Thanks for the reply. The car was #28 @ Sebring 1967, #47 @ VIR 1968, #27 @ lime Rock 1969. I have photos in all white with no stripes. There is evidence of Yellow pillers and roof edge with the rear panel in yellow but I don't know when it was painted that way. Any help in tracing this is greatly apprieciated,
Mike

Thanks Jeff, I have the UK history. I am interested in any information and pictures of the car and drivers after it came back to the States. Again thanks for the reply and any other help you can give in my search.

FWIW, the TransAm website ( http://www.trans-amseries.com/ ) box scores from 1969 show Ed Leslie finishing 27th @ Lime Rock in '69 in a Camaro. (But you probably already knew this.)

Also they show two 67 Camaros running @ Mid-Ohio in 1969. One driven by Robert Barg (31) and another by Levester Lewis (32). Other sources show Barg co-driving with Rick Stevens in his "Camaro" that year.

Thanks Jeff, Any idea what color the Barg or Lewis cars were? This car was out of the Virginia area in '68/'69.

Not sure, but Barg and Stevens were out of British Columbia I believe.

The TransAm website has pdf files of the original typed box scores for all the races.

Thanks Jeff, I have talked to a number of the Trans Am guys. The car is registered in the "Historic Trans Am Registry" by David Tom as # 089 since it is one of the first 100 Trans Am cars built.

Is there any series for later (79) vintage TA cars. I have a 69 vette that ran in the TA in 79 just before I bought it. It still has a TA sticker on it.

[DANA/TA]

Yep, I thought I should give it a try. Any more news on the engine block? Bring it by when you can.

We run with HSR West but I believe your car is eligble for HSR. I have the 1969 Corvette that won the SCCA regional at Riverside in 1970 in AP. It is originally an L-89 car. Traco built the motor to L-88 spec's a number of years ago. It still has the original block and heads in it. The engine pad barely shows the end of the serial #. It has a Greenwood phase 1 wide body on it now. I believe it was raced in some local Trans Am and IMSA races on the west coast. Also we run a 1976 DeKon Monza. We are trying to get enough cars from that era to make our own race group in the future, with a few different race clubs. Some place for the later T/A, IMSA, GTO and GTU cars to play. A friend just bought one of the real Greenwood customer cars so we are looking forward to running it soon also.
