- 7A: 1966-72 Trans-Am
Recently retired from race driving, Roger Penske teamed with driver/engineer Mark Donohue to build a Camaro (a Z28) into a Trans-Am racecar. The first car was unstable but when Chevrolet pushed a set of stamped 'thin-steel' body panels out the back door, things improved; Mark won at Bryar mid-year. This second Penske/Donohue Camaro, race #6, was acid dipped instead and thus was nicknamed the 'Lightweight', receiving Sunoco sponsorship to boot. It was very successful at both passing tech inspection and on the Trans-Am track itself being reportedly 250 lb underweight. Its greatest success was a 3rd place overall at the 1968 Sebring 12 Hours behind a pair of factory Porsche 907s.     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
