Jon Mello's Z/28 #1

What's that thing on the driver's door that looks like an inside rear-view mirror? It's inside the white number circle ahead of the 4. You can see the SW guages through the wing window in the top photo at Daytona.

Looks like an outline for Daytona

Thanks again to all. The thing next to the number 4 is a number light. The car was running in a 24 hour race at Daytona and the scorers needed a way to keep track of the cars after sundown. The red Mustang driven by Jerry Titus did not have a light on it because I believe they were using a big glow-in-the-dark white background behind their number 1.

I have attached a page which shows Z28s #16-25. I have VIN numbers for 10 of these first 25 and lots of partial information on many of the others. It is my hope to someday account for all of these first 25 cars in one way or another. I am working on a long term book project concerning the '67 Z28 and the personalities involved with them. I have had four '67 Z28s. Wish I still had all four but at least I still have 50%!

I agree that there are some really incredible cars owned by people who frequent this website. Thanks to all the others who have shared their stories as well. Let's help out Belair and keep him stocked up with member's rides features!

I know I have some paper on the #21 Joie Chitwood car somewhere...

Cool car, thanks for sharing it with us.

Hey, once you get it restored, maybe we can lease the road course at Gateway, or at least do what we did for the Corvair Stingers at a SCR, and set up a autocroos event for the road race cars. I could bring Don's IMSA car and I am sure I could get Mo to bring the Stinger.

A car I would love to see is owned by Vic Edlebrock, which is the Camaro that Don won the 1969 Citrus 250 Nascar race in. I believe it was built by Smokey Yunick.

mr70, thanks for the offer to help with info on the Chitwood car. Any help by anybody regarding other cars on the list is greatly appreciated.

Tom, you would not be disappointed by Vic's car. I have seen it on numerous occasions and it is a real beauty. A road course or slalom thing sounds like a blast. Don's IMSA car is really cool and it would be great to see that car in action also. Same goes for the Stingers.

Maybe we could get Bob Jane to bring the road racing ZL-1 from Australia.
