Description:

Original 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Trans Am race car. This car was purchased by Chaffee Collage in 1968 for the purpose of teaching a race tech. class. Legends such as Bob Bondurant, Dick Guldstrand and Chevrolet Corporation contributed to the education. Due to insurance restrictions, the students were unable to race the car. Therefore, they hired drivers such as Bob Bondurant, Dick Guldstrand, and Paul Newman to test drive the car at Ontario Motor Speedway. The car was in it’s first Trans Am race in 1970 at Riverside. It was driven by Dick Guldstrand. In 1970, Paul Van Valkenburg (Author of “Race Car Engineering & Mechanics) began racing the car and winning his first race at Ontario. He then campaigned the car at various Trans Am events in Ohio, Michigan and Riverside. Since then it has raced at Riverside, Palm Springs, Ontario, Tustin and Las Vegas. In 2002, it returned to the Trans Am series by racing at the Wine Country Classic an the Monterey Historic. The car has once again been driven by Dick Guldstrand.
