Picture Gardner Jagermeister/Camaro Hockenheim -72
Have an original foto bought ten years ago at Oldtimer GP. As I understand this car is now back in the U.K. Is it restored ?
This car ran Weber IDA 48 with a higher ( not stock ) cowl induction hood. Does anyone have any FIA papers showing this option ? |

I would be surprised if that option was ever homologated.

The cowl induction hood was designed in early 1967 but not homologated through the SCCA for Trans-Am until 1969. Fiberglass for the dual carb, steel for the single 4-barrel. The hood on Frank's '67, from memory, was a popular aftermarket item (Hopkins?). |

Anyone interested in seeing an awesome Big Block all alloy engined 1st Gen Camaro in action should get themselves down to Thruxton this Sunday as I have it on good authourity Mark (freelitreV6 I think he posts here under) has entered one in our Classic Thunder race. I will be there with my 3rd gen car in a different race. I will try to get some shots of it and post them up as I have heard it is some machine.

I have the video Clive its what inspired me to race a Camaro! Actually a big grunty car is not at all bad around Lydden contary to popular believe and if a silly little bolt had not come off the gear change I recon I would have got a 4th after a storming start from 10th on the grid to 4th and holding it. My friend Gerry Cain loves the place in his big oversized engine SD1 and always goes well there. The reason I mentioned Lydden is that its very easy to get to from the continent and we are holding the 2nd of our successful Historic Festivaks there again in 2010 and it would be an oppertunatey to enter several races at a discounted price. There will be at least one other 1st Gen Camaro there and myself as there was this year.

I love Lydden, Al, and it's actually a great test for the otherwise point-and-squirt merchants! A big-block Camaro would be great on the A2 from the ferry port at Dover to Lydden. Slow down for the Whitfield roundabout, though....
Incidentally, the car in the picture is obviously not the famous 1973 BSCC/1974 ETC car. There was an earlier SCA Camaro which did race in the BSCC, but I really don't know if that's the car in the picture after it was sold on to a European buyer. Was Frank Gardner even the driver of the first early-shape SCA Camaro in the UK? For some reason, Brian Muir and/or John Hine spring to mind. Someone out there will know, for sure! |

A couple more Camaro vids - Paul Stubber from Western Australia. The car is built for the Central Muscle Car series in New Zealand and has a 358ci engine, 17x11" wheels and 4-spot brakes.
