What initially appeared to be a relatively stock 1968 Chevrolet Camaro turned out to be anything but stock upon closer inspection. Built to be raced in the Trans-Am Series, #13 underwent some subtle, but dramatic modifications and the final product was a thoroughbred race car, cloaked in acid dipped '68 Camaro sheet metal. in addition to the lightening process, the front body panels were "drooped", all four fenders were widened, the front subframe was "Z'd" to lower the car, the windshield was laid back to smooth the airflow over the roof, and thinner safety glass was used throughout the car. Powered by a healthy 302 cubic inch small block pumping out 450 horse power and capable of winding well above 7,000 RPM, the Camaro first appeared at Riverside in late 1967 and ran .6 seconds quicker than the pole sitter, but failed a tech inspection. The car was later taken to Bonneville where it topped 174 MPH with the 302 and 183 MPH with a modified 396 big block. Eventually the car did compete in the '68 Sebring 12-Hour Race, but failed to finish. Many well-known drivers piloted #13 during it's career, including Bruce McLaren, Jim Hall, Al and Bobby Unser, and Mark Donohue. The #13 Camaro, a classic example of 1960's state-of-the-art Trans-Am engineering, and one of the only two built,is now owned by Vic Edelbrock Jr., Mike Eddy, of the Edelbrock Corporation, has Masterfully restored this icon of racing history to it's '68 Sebring trim, however, this is no museum piece. As soon as it was completed, Vic ran it at a vintage Trans-Am race at Sears Point, finishing a respectable fourth. Vic continues to race the Camaro at vintage race events across the country.</br><br/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053F3OKU
