Red Dawson's DeKon Chevy Monza 1001

But...it was not 3 years, in fact as a driver, Red barely had it for 1 year, the Camaro went up for sale in late November 75 and and its first race in NZ would have been late December 75 or early January 76, the Manfield crash was early November 76, from which, of course Red never raced again.
He may still have owned it, but...

You are right Sean, he would have raced the Monza for less than a year. It made its NZ race debut at Bay Park in December 1975, and Red had his Manfield shunt in October 1976. But I'd have thought he would have owned the car for three years, or the best part of three years? It required a big rebuild after Manfield, and the earliest I've seen of the car in Briggs hands was late 1978.
