I am not sure if this is the right thread for it but I found this NZ herald cutting of my next door neighbors uncles car, the Coca Cola Blydenstien powered Viva GT. Alan Boyle kindly took a snotty nosed 14 year old around the track in this car at the end of the day and that was it, HOOKED!!
Gavin Shaw runs a Facebook page in which he has been posting up his own old New Zealand racing photos, plus those of others.
A recent posting was this oddball, which nobody has yet identified. Its a second gen Camaro, and appears to be at Bay Park. The Camaro appears possibly to be a speedway car, converted to run on tarmac, and with equal sized wheels left-right. Its hard to tell, but it appears also to have a windscreen fitted.
Does anyone know who this is, and when this was taken?
I don't know anything about this. Just saw it on Facebook and had to share it here. Its awesome!!!
Hard case eh Steve , reminds me of a slot carI don't know anything about this. Just saw it on Facebook and had to share it here. Its awesome!!!
Grant, did you see the white one at Ruapuna, what a neat little rocket ship. Thought I had photos, but if any one has can they put them up please.
Rod would Lindsay or Brett Willis or maybe Ralph know whose Camaro that is in #209? I sure as hell can`t remember it ....
Rod .. that Renault { Fiat not at Ruapuna that I saw ) I am sure was a re production of the car ran in the early 70,s [Mullins ??]....just a rocket ship .....not sure on the lap times but guessing would be 160 mph on front straight ......with out a doubt crazeeeeee..... but guess it complies ....also talked to Brent that weekend [ Colins] and mentioned about going out racing with one wheel stud missing [stripped] that could have also turned out not good ....all a part of the old Timaru Thing......270k glad the wheel let go on a slow corner ..... Hey Going to catch up with Kev Ban at H/ D on 3rd May he is running his Honda Cup car this will be very interesting we will catch up again hope u all good .....

Grant are you talking about the Dauphine Chev recreation, from Nelson, pretty close to the original?
That Fiat is in Italy, heaps of them like this over there.
Just had a fiatbambina run at levels a rew weeks ago, it was fitted with a yamaha r1 1000cc engine,6 speed sequential, it was also a rocketship
Is that Yambina that Mike Lowe (Enzed Targa Abarth fame) had for a while, and previously ex Otago with a Rotary?
Yep Old Fart , that's the one ...... was similar to the Miller car [not mullens]...... I did not see the fiat there though
Should be very close really as the same builder did both of the Dauphine Chevs, and yes really.
