Does anyone know if this is an ex-trans am Camaro?  This picture was taken at the 24 hour Pepsi Challenge at Daytona International Speedway on February 3, 1980.  I found the picture at Getty Images.  The caption states, "This Chevrolet Camaro was driven in the 24 Hour Pepsi Challenge at Daytona International Speedway by Dick Neland, Bill Ferran and Joe Cotrone. The team dropped out of the race after completing 270 laps."

I know this isn't the 24 hours but it is a Paul Revere 250 race at Daytona.  Is this the gold and black Yunick Trans Am Camaro?  I found this picture at Getty Images.  The caption states, "Bobby Unser (left) prepares to climb into Henry 'Smokey' Yunick's (R) 1969 Z-28 Camaro for the start of the Paul Revere 250 on the road course of Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida on July 3 and 4, 1969. Wearing his trademark black cowboy hat, Yunick's legendary mechanical skills propelled drivers such as Unser, Johnny Rutherford, Glenn 'Fireball' Roberts, Curtis Turner, Bobby Johns, Paul Goldsmith and many others to racing success.

The Carter camaro would be one of the ex Jim Hall 1970 T/A camaros which Mo purchased to run in the 71 and 72 seasons - was upgraded with big block engine etc for 73.  He ran  both IMSA and T/A.  My understanding is the car was wrecked in a
Mosport testing accident and parted out maybe in 76/77.  He then commissioned Brad Francis to build an IMSA  AAGT class tube frame camaro to race.

Thanks for the great info.  Too bad it didn't survive.  Could this be the same car or is this the tube frame car?  Either way it's interesting to note that it has the early 2nd Generation Camaro front end on it.  The pictures were taken by R. Allen Olmstead at the 1977 Watkins Glen 6 hour race.  I found them here: http://www.botchagaloop.net/

That white and orange Camaro #56 is driven by Craig Carter, not Mo Carter. I think it may be owned currently by John Hildebrand and it is currently dark blue with yellow lettering.

The white #11 '69 Camaro at Daytona in 1970 looks to be the Larry Bock/Larry Drover car raced in Trans-Am that year.

The white with red sided Camaro following the red, white & blue Corvette appears to be the John Elliott car raced in Trans-Am
with sponsorship from Preston Hood Chevrolet in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
