Description:1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 The Sports Car Club of America, (SCCA), is a non-profit American automobile club and sanctioning body supporting road racing, rallying, and autocross in the United States. Formed in 1944, it runs many programs for both amateur and professional racers. The SCCA traces its roots to the Automobile Racing Club of America, (not to be confused with the current stock car series of the same name). ARCA was founded in 1933 by brothers Miles and Sam Collier, and dissolved in 1941 at the outbreak of World War II. The SCCA was formed in 1944 as an enthusiast group. The SCCA began sanctioning road racing in 1948 with the inaugural Watkins Glen Grand Prix. Cameron Argetsinger, an SCCA member and local enthusiast who would later become Director of Pro Racing and Executive Director of the SCCA, helped organize the event for the SCCA. In 1951, the SCCA National Sports Car Championship was formed from existing marquee events around the nation, including Watkins Glen, Pebble Beach, and Elkhart Lake. Many early SCCA events were held on disused air force bases, organized with the help of Air Force General Curtis LeMay, a renowned enthusiast of sports car racing. LeMay loaned out facilities of Strategic Air Command bases for the SCCA\'s use; the SCCA relied heavily on these venues during the early and mid-1950s during the transition from street racing to permanent circuits. For consignment, a rare piece of SCCA racing history now gracing our ever changing Hallowed Hall inventory. This 1982 Camaro Z28 was initially raced under the Guildstrand Engineering banner in 1982 having finished 2nd in the prototype class at the Longest Day Of Nelson in 1982, then following up that podium the next year with a full on win at the same race. From there it was passed onto Square A Automobile Sales & Service of Bethlehem, PA where it was raced in a SS/GT class by Bertil Roos, a former Formula One driver, at the Pocono Double National race. This race caused some issues for Roos and the car owners as the car was found to not be legal for its\' class due to being updated with a 1983 5-speed manual transmission as well as a dual snorkel air cleaner and some illegal gauges. This matter was protested and the car was allowed to race, but to no avail Paul Tosi pulled off the win. From there the car competed in a host of other races and even has had some celebrity drivers including James Brolin, Rick Mancuso and John Greenwood just to name a few. A mere 10,133 original documented miles are on the clock, and this car looks and feels all the part. 1982 was the only 3rd generation year offering a black interior option, and this car took it! A slightly worked engine, a roll cage and some suspension upgrades are all on, however the looks remain, and for the taking, and your storing, showing or driving around it is like new in all aspects. Exterior NIcely aligned body panels bathed in Bright Red still retaining its shine show off for the eye all around this car. Just above the rockers, a dual red striped band encircling the entire car and accentuating it perfectly. And for more highlighting just below this red is some silver not to be out done, it is wider and wraps the entire bottom of this car. Within this strip are some red 3D Z28 badges in the front quarter just in case you forgot what you are driving! Neoprene front crash bumpers are nearly perfect and have dual rectangular headlights deeply inserted within. The door handles, sport mirrors on either side, and black trimmings for the window surrounds denote the impending doom about to befall any challenger. Race livery is noted throughout the body along with driver names and the car number. A nicely and gracefully sloping rear greenhouse glass takes our eye to the rear spoiler and taillight section, which is mounted in an inverted V and iconic look for the Z28\'s. 15-inch 5 spoke wheels are all around and wrapped in deeply treaded blackwall rubber.
