COOL piece of history for those who are into nostalgia.

Love to see someone revive these old race cars, it's a pity that so many great ones have just disappeared.

Does anyone find it odd that Dave would buy a Z28 to race that was a Rally Sport with power brakes?

Thanks, Jerry for keeping the memories alive.

"thanks to the window sticker, there’s no doubt that this was a 4-speed car from the beginning"......uhhh, they ALL were. (Z28s)
And a Muncie M22 behind a Rob Y. clutch?
I don't get it - this isn't the car Jerry just set the record with, is it?

RPO Z28 had required options to be bought with the z28 package. J50/J52 power disc brakes was one of the mandatory options along with M20/M21/M22 transmission. They weren't all built to be racecars from the start, some were made for street use so you had to stop along with the go....

No Jerry has another Z28 that he just set the record at atco.
