From our Builds and Project Car forum: kaiscott98, who lives in the UK, is looking for help on this Camaro race car.

“Last year I bought a 1970 camaro in the UK (where I live/ am from) and it was apparently imported over here in the late 70's to early 80's and raced for a while over here in ascar and the thundersaloons. Id never seen a camaro like it before until I started doing research and found that Carl shafer had raced a car with an extremely similar body kit. I also found a few other cars over in the states that were racing in IMSA and the daytona series i believe that look similar: carmon solomone had a green and yellow early 70s one, clark howey had a blue one with the number 73 but this was a later 2nd gen.”

David, good luck. I brought many old dead race cars out of Mexico. Some I knew the history for. One took me 2 years to figure out. The bodies undergo changes that can make them hard to recognize. Things that are more perminent can lead to a person saying a car was theirs with certainty. I have had cars IDed by gussets on the cage, electrical panels, novel duct routing, etc. A Shelby de Mex car was confirmed by an original driver when he looked at an inner panel that was dented from a shunt he had put the car through. Only the exterior had been repaired back n the day. Take photos of features that look like unique construction/prep details.
