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. ~ Pete Degnan Emblem on eBoy... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Deg...cAAOSwIH1anZ~P '

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. ~ Pete .

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... https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74418 ~ Pete .

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? ~ Pete .

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! ~ Pete .

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.
