One of the noisiest cars at Sonoma was this "Peerless Racing"1970 Camaro that was prepared for IMSA GT racing to challenge the European competition at the long distance races at Sebring and Daytona etc. With its 478 c.i. aluminum 8-Cylinder engine it had "heaps of grunt" when raced by original driver Craig Carter. As you will read in the history it was a salvaged flood car and competed between 1972 to 1981.
It is a good and mean looking machine.

A good history of this car is found at this Fantasy Junction site when it was for sale.
