1970 Chevrolet Camaro

Robert Clemens, a Corvette Division Engineer, bought this Camaro RS under GM's Employee Purchase Program. After a year and 5,000 'family' miles, Robert and his wife Carol turned it into an SCCA Trans-Am racecar. Clemens and David Skibowski took nearly a year to install a roll cage, steel fender flares, fuel cell, race motor and safety equipment, etc. In 1972 it ran Watkins Glen in June and Road America in July, finishing 20th to earn $150, and 28th, to earn $50, respectively. Continuing in 1973 but only at Road America, it made two IMSA races at Daytona, one each year. The car then sat in a barn in Georgia until purchased by the current owner in 2006.
