This West Coast, Historic Trans-Am Group accepted 1969 Z/28 Camaro has a Historic Motor Sports Association log book along with its SVRA and original SCCA (#18-494) log books. This Camaro's track record has proven it to be one of the fastest, most developed and sorted first generation historic racing Camaros anywhere in the country. Still retaining all of its Trans-Am specifications including the all-iron 302 cubic inch engine, Borg-Warner super T-10 transmission and J-56 brakes, a complete cosmetic restoration has recently been finished topped off with a set of Minilite wheels and a Mark Donohue seat.
In the fall of 1971, Richie Allin race prepared this theft recovered 1969 Z-28 Camaro to replace Jerry Petersen's 1967 Camaro he destroyed at driver's school. This Camaro was built to specifications from Penske/Donahue specifications from the GM engineering drawings as well as those from Vince Piggins, who he had met the previous season. This car was painted bright blue metallic with unique red and white stripes crossing the roof and going down the rear quarter panels with ran large number 87s. This unique paint was found in photos in the early log book and was used to find its original identity through Road America records. Richie Allin inspected and verified the car at a historic race event Mid-Ohio in 1990 and has provided a wealth of original documents and photos.
The Petersen Camaro ran in four races in the Trans-Am Series in 1972:
June 4th Mid-Ohio - finished 31st
June 18th Watkins Glen - finished 10th
July 4th Donnybrooke - finished 9th
July 15th Road America - finished 30th
Various SCCA Regional and National events between 1975 and 1982
Various Historic Racing events 1988 through 2006
After crashing in the 1972 Road America Trans-Am, this Camaro sat in storage for a short while until Rod Harris of Fargo, ND. purchased and raced it in the SCCA during the 1975-1982 seasons. Greg Schneider of Grand Forks, ND. purchased it in 1988, prepared and introduced it to vintage racing. Current SVRA Competition Director Carl Jensen of Mazomie, WI. then bought it in 1989, restored the Camaro's body to 1972 specifications to go along with its all original chassis, roll cage and tub and for the next sixteen seasons Carl competed in East Coast and Mid-West vintage venues. Most recently, in 2008, a complete cosmetic detailed restoration was completed by Lance Smith of Huntington Cars.
Now with a period-correct fresh restoration on a very well sorted, well documented original car, this historic Camaro represents a great investment as well as an easy entry to the camaraderie and fun of the Trans-Am Race Group.
