Jeff posted this in his new arrivals thread, but I had all these pics in my photobucket just crying to be posted!:freak:
After the front line "works" Penske team had dropped the Chevy brand, GM turned the reigns over to long time partner Chaparral Racing.
This is the 1970 Chevy Camaro of Jim Hall. The word is that Jim was looking for a reason to drive a bit more and decided to pilot the #1 Camaro in six 1970 Trans AM events before turning it over to Vic Elford who raced it in four more rounds. The 1970 records show that in Jim's six starts, he posted a best of 4th three times and finished 6th in points overall. Vic did post a win in the #1 car during the 1970 Watkins Glen round as well. The #2 team car was driven by Ed Leslie.
Of the three '70 Camaro's built by Chaparral, only one is confirmed to exist today in it's original form. I think TSM did a admiral job on this casting. I look forward to many more Trans AM cars for the future.
