The 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Chevrolet Camaro, but not just by loading the show with random examples.    In this display, we see an invitational of 1967 Camaro Z/28s, including this awesome Sunoco Trans Am racer built by Roger Penske and raced by Mark Donohue! 1967 Z/28s are a rare sight these days, and Trans Am versions even more so.   This invitational was a great example of the special kinds of displays you’ll see at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals!

We all rely on electronic fuel injection systems for reliable performance today, but would you believe that the Shelby team was experimenting with the technology back in 1968?  Pete Disher brought out this unbelievably rare 1968 Shelby GT500 engineering test vehicle that was equipped with a 428 Cobra Jet engine (rather than the 428 Police Interceptor as standard) and a Conelec Electronic Fuel Injection system as well.    It’s an amazing piece of history that was on display at the 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois.

They also touch on a cool ’77 Pontiac Trans Am that just went home after a visit to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for an engine replacement. That’s pretty routine in our shop, but the fact that the owners are twin 16 year old guys is not! It’s great to see younger people digging these kinds of cars.

This 1965 Cobra by Backdraft came to us when the owner wanted all the chrome and bright aluminum pieces powder coated black.     In addition, we installed a killer audio system so the driver can hear tunes over the Roush 427!  We also performed some paint work on the car after a fender was damaged.
