| Video Discription | Pretty neat to come across this vintage nostalgia pro stock car at Byron Dragway's '16 Summer Thunder Event and see it in action competing in the Midwest Nostalgia Pro Stock Association. Below is the history of the car as found on the handout available from the owner Jim Parks... The '70 Camaro Gibb race car history starts in North Carolina. B.J. Stott of Stott Chevrolet in Tyronne, NC got the Camaro in March of 1970. The build date of the car was February of 1970. This is an early '70 Camaro as Chevrolet was on strike and the production of '70 Camaros started January of that year. In March 1970 B.J. Stott gave the car to Jim Little, a local racer, and by April the car was a built race car. The car was originally a 6 cylinder, copper colored with a fawn interior. In just 1 month it became a red, full blown Pro Stock race car powered by a tunnel rammed aluminum 427ci engine with a fiberglass front end and hood. Jim raced the car from April to September 1970 as part of the Dickie Harrell race team, then put it up for sale. This is when Fred Gibb became involved. Fred's crew changed it from a Pro Stock to a Super Stock race car. Herb Fox drove the car at the time and Glenn Wright was the crew chief. The car was featured in the May '71 issue of Rodder and Super Stock magazine with a 3 page article by well known photographer and writer Jon Asher. The article explains about the motor and chassis specs with Herb Fox as the driver. The best time for the car back then according to the magazine was 9.98 at 138.40mph. When Fred quit racing, the car was sold to a gentleman in Meredosia,Il. where it was bracket raced for several years. In 1989 the car was listed for sale in a Quincy, IL local paper. The ad explained that it was a Fred Gibb-Dickie Harold (spelling as per the shopper) race car. Included in the ad was a copy of the statement of origin from G.M. stating the car had never been licensed or titled for highway use. The car had original fiberglass front end and hood, plus the Dana 60 rear. The dash was intact with the speedometer showing the original 40 miles. #nostalgia #superstock #dragracing B6h_WLUGNzQ |
