Would that be a 1970 or a 1970 1/2 Camaro Race Car? Has it ever had an encounter with a garage door?

Kim, Joe here,looks like your PM box needs a cleaning

[Kim_Howie]

I cleaned her Joe

[Kim_Howie]

Ok! Here's the information on the car. 70 Fred Gibb S/S/Pro Stock AHRA Camaro. The car is a no issue car, I have a copy of the MSO title, I also have a letter from Fred Gibb &amp; complete owner history to the MSO. This car has all the original sheet metal, orginal glass front end &amp; hood. The car is a great museum piece or certified race car. The car can run in the high 9's all day long. The ZL1 motor has been faithfully reproduced from carbs to pan. The motor dynoed 816 hp &amp; idles like a 283.

Fred Gibb had 3 race cars. #1 - 67 &quot;Little Hoss&quot; Camaro, #2 - 1969 ZL1 Camaro, and the last car, my 70 Camaro. Little Hoss sold at auction for $325,000, the ZL1 sold for around $1,000,000. You'll never buy a Gibb race car cheaper than this car. This includes all parts &amp; trailer.

Thanks for looking.

[DarrenX33]

Bad Assssssss..... I know no questions, so I'll word it this way. Sure would like to see some day two pics..or even some current racing pics with the wheels up !!!
Good Luck with the sale !!

Anyone?? (Sorry for the one word question)

[black69]

wow, what a neat car. price seems reasonable for a rare piece.
Looks like a form of a chrysler-ish thermoquad (carter) carb setup with the black bases. kept the fuel cooler in the bowls.
I have never seen that on a chevy.

[PxTx]

Yeah, a vintage picture from around 1971 would be cool for this thread!

[Kim_Howie]

Bob, the Comp series 850 cfm Carter carbs were on this car all of it's life. I am still looking for jets &amp; metering rods.Very hard to find. I have two sets lean &amp; fat.

[Kim_Howie]

I have some vidos,but can't figure how to put them up here.

[enio45]

Tell me about the garage door :-)

I just educated myself on the web, and read carter made a competion series thermoquad, discontinued in the mid 70s. pretty rare. just finished rebuilding 2 of the standard 780cfm ones. I think they are very cool, and that is why those competition one caught me eye. 2 separate floats in each (complex but cool!). For me, I saw these mostly as a chrysler thing, if you consider the 70-75 time frame. But competition series is good for any car make. There are numbers somewhere on how the phenolic body added horsepower on the mopar standard applications just by cooling down the fuel, it was substantial. Probably very improtant at the starting line. That 70 car was using every trick then to get the best horsepower.

yeah, I can see getting parts for that carb would not be fun. love the way that engine looks.

I wanna say there's a video of this car vs. Jim Parks' '63 Nova from last year's Supercar Reunion...it was the last run of the day, so if I'm not mistaken they both stayed in it and ran into the 9s (tech cut 'em off @ 10.0s, iirc)...I had a whole host of other issues that day so I may be misremembering.

[Kim_Howie]

Thanks Joe I have never seen that tape !!! I knew Dick Harrell worked on the car. cool.

[Kim_Howie]

Bob, Jeff Stealy built the motor he really liked these carbs.

[Kim_Howie]

Ed, I ran the car into the side of the door way backing out of the Garage. DUH! Did a little damage to the car door and Quarter.OPS!

[PxTx]

Cool Stuff!

[PeteLeathersac]

This Gibb/Harrell car also the price Red Alert is currently being offered for seem absolutely unbelievable deals!!!
These cars still capable of being potent weekend track warriors as originally built to be instead of just a special car sitting in fella's shop simply adds to their value!.

Seriously, in a world where trickery and outright fraud abound also auction-hype helps sell lesser cars for more $, chances to buy cars like this w/ verifiable and unparalleled history at these prices must surely be once in a lifetime opportunities!!!

Thanks to the caretakers/sellers of these exctiting and historically important cars also good luck and traction to whoever the new owner/racers end up being!.

It looked like they were wrapping the fuel lines with something in that one old picture you posted. It tells me the theme was to keep the fuel temp down when you look at that and the carb choice. very cool. my new favorite carb choice.

[Kim_Howie]

I didn't know you had that tape. I have to admit I was asleep at the light. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

[Kim_Howie]

Bob, there also was a cool can for ice to cool the fuel. On a hot day you will pick up 2 1000ths.

[Kim_Howie]

Looking for 33 OR 41 willys steel RACE car in trade. What do you have??

[Kim_Howie]

Will consider a trade what do you have!!

A really nice piece of history.

I was talking to my banker and she said &quot;no.&quot;
So I'm out...

Good luck with selling it <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[PxTx]

Very cool car. How many cars have pics, let alone video of the legends from the 1960's working on their cars? No staged promotional here. The real deal!
