1969 Camaro Yenko/Grossman ran in 1970 Sebring with ZL1 power. May be same car they ran in 69 Sebring with red paint. This pic I believe the car was white with red and blue stripes. This car was very fast but blew up.

JoeC,
I have been trying to acquire a copy of the Garner racing movie (The Racing Scene, I believe it was called). Do you know of a place where I can buy a copy? Thanks. -Jon 1967 Z28 street car 1967 Z28 Trans Am race car 1967 Z28 Registry |

Marlin, if it is a 68 race, with a Notchback Mustang wearing the #2, thats the F word thats in my shop. First raced a real light almost white blue, then yellow with black hood, then Ford Corporate Blue. The Garner Movie "The Racing Scene", I believe I know where to get a copy of the movie, I have the promotional 24x48" movie posterboard if you are interested. Great notes on the Yenko racing history Joe, more great stuff for my files.
