View Full Version : 2010 Fred Gibb Camaro prototype II

This is the story of the number II prototype Fred Gibb Edition 5th Generation Camaro.

Number I was built (still a work in progress and yes we have your chrome wheels)for Nancy Gibb and features a Black on Gold theme, just like the original prototype.

Number II has been commissioned by Bob & Nancy Lionberger.

For those who don't know, Bob is the Gibb's former son in law. He and wife Nancy are not only family to Helen and Nancy Gibb, but they have been part of the sYc family for a long time.

They have been involved with our hobby for years and Bob's roots go back to when he was a young boy and Fred Gibb took him to his very first Drag Race!

Bob went on to work for Fred and became very close to him and the rest of the family. If your ever wanting to hear some cool and interesting stories about Fred Gibb, then you need to pin Bob down for awhile.

We had been working on ideas for the New Fred Gibb Camaros and we thank the sYc/Tom Clary, as well as other individual members who helped us put it all together, especially Helen and Nancy Gibb.

We introduced our concept via the professional renderings drawn for us by noted artist, John McBride.

The concept was introduced at the Fred Gibb Memorial Car show, in La Harpe Il this past August of 2009.

Helen was asked for her approval before we unveiled the renderings to the public. We were on pins and needles hoping to meet with her approval.

We decided to use GMs Red Jewel tint coat color as which seemed to be very reminicent of the Fred Gibb Candy Apple Red painted, vintage race cars. We also used the gold striping, as this is also another styling que used by Gibb, back in the day.

It also seems that Fred favored chrome 5 spoke mag style wheels, so we incorporated those too.

Here are the renderings of the new Fred Gibb Camaros.

Bob approached us at the Gibb show and said that he wanted us to build a New Fred Gibb Camaro.

He, his wife and Nancy Gibb made several visits to our shop in St. Charles, in order to layout the game plan for Prototype I, as well as Prototype II.

While Nancy already had her Black Camaro, Bob ordered his through one of our Network dealers (they got him a great deal) and we then had GM drop ship the Camaro to our local courtesy dealer.

The car is here at Nickey Chicago and we started the conversion process by adding Chrome Wheels to the car.

Stay tuned for more updates as we progress.

Bob and all the family have been through a lot...nice to see him having some fun and enjoying life. Karen and I wish him and Nancy lots of happy and "healthy" miles in their new ride.

Light 'em up Bob....but, don't let Nancy G. get behind the wheel http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It is truly an honor to be part of this project and work with all those involved.

Thanks once again to everyone who helped us in any way with getting this project rolling.

I need my Fred Gibb fix on a regular basis!

I can't wait to see #1 & #2 parked next to each other at the Gibb Show in August.

This thread is about number II PT, however the First production Fred Gibb 427 Camaro is in the shop and under construction as well. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Anyone wanting a special order paint such as Lemans blue or Hugger Orange needs to provide some additional lead time as the Super Car Workshop crew is very busy.

Bob and Nancy stopped by the shop yesterday. Talk about a couple of excited kids! I don't think they can wait very long for this new addition and I had to remind Bob that it is still winter outside........Beautiful car.

With any luck we will get Bob and Nancy with their Gibb Camaro as well as Nancy and Helen and their car to the shop open house/show on June 5th. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Stef: love to see those *hard part* pictures...care to break down what all we're looking at, specifically the heads? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Stefano
06-01-2010, 12:55 AM
RE the heads: Those are the LS3 take off heads from Bob's Gibb Camaro. 2.20 Intake and 1.60 exhaust. They flow very well as stock and extremely well once we are done with the special multi angle valve job and CNC porting as well as chamber work and CCing.

We include new higher rate springs and titanium retainers.

While every part is upgradeable we have not found it necessary for our 600hp Stage II engines.

You will notice the carbon build up on a very low miles Camaro....that is from GM venting the crank case right back into the Intake.......most of the intakes we take appart are soaked with oil, but we have a fix for that too. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/StefanoBimbi/2010%20LS3%20CNCd%20Heads/2010LS3CNCdheads009.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/StefanoBimbi/2010%20LS3%20CNCd%20Heads/2010LS3CNCdheads010.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/StefanoBimbi/2010%20LS3%20CNCd%20Heads/2010LS3CNCdheads019.jpg

Maybe someone should make a &quot;Gibb Tuned&quot; decal for Bob's car??? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif It's great to see that girl having fun.

Love the exhaust dumps Mr. Bimbi. You guys are doing things right! </div></div>

Do you know anyone who might help with a Gibb tuned decal?.......Now if I could only get her to show up for work on time.......she keeps complaining about the drive time. </div></div>

You know how those teachers are. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Well, I did have an &quot;EXTRA LONG&quot; lunch hour yesterday, so I jumped in to my NICKEY &quot;Fred Gibb Edition&quot; 2010 Camaro, and headed out to St. Charles to Stefano and Beth's! They said they could use a little help finishing up Bob and Nancy Lionberger's #2 Fred Gibb Edition Prototype. Bob,I hope it was o.k. with YOU that I did some awesome welding on your new headers! I applied for the job while I was there, but the owners didn't seem to thrilled with the idea!!!! Stefano and his crew have done an unbelieveable job on that RED JEWEL TINT COAT Camaro!!!!! I can't believe how awesome it looks!!!! I can't wait to see your faces when you see it and start it up!!!!! THANKS Stefano and Beth for a WONDERFUL day yesterday and for everything you are doing to MY CAMARO!!!

Just wanted to post a note here to Bob and Nancy Lionberger. I just got off the phone with Stefano and he told me they had just fired up FOR THE FIRST TIME their 2010 &quot;FRED GIBB EDITION&quot; #2 PROTOTYPE CAMARO! This is EXTRA SPECIAL, as TODAY June 4th, would have been my Dad's BIRTHDAY! Dad would be honored knowing Bob and Nancy got THIS car! THANKS Stefano, Beth, and all the crew at NICKEY CHICAGO for making this all happen for Bob. It means alot to me also.......Long Live the Memory of FRED GIBB and &quot;FRED GIBB CHEVROLET&quot;. n.g.

WOW, that's something special! Congrats to Bob &amp; Nancy, to Steve and the crew at Nickey Chicago AND to Helen and the girls. A Great Tribute to Mr. Fred Gibb. He's gotta be smiling big today.

<span style="font-weight: bold">HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. GIBB!</span> <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

I think it was the sound of 600 raw naturally aspirated horsepower firing to life for the first time along with finding out that today is the late Fred Gibb's Birthday, which triggered a special, magical tingle that went down my spine.

We still have lots of work to do.........
