1967/1968 Camaro Z/28 Penske/Sunoco race car

Wallpaper Description:

In 1967, Roger Penske was beginning his long and remarkable career as a businessman and racing team owner. He quickly teamed with driver Mark Donohue and began a dual assault on two SCCA Professional Series: the US Road Racing Championship and the Trans-Am using Chevy powered Lola race cars and the all-new Chevy Camaro. After an inauspicious start with the Camaro, the team experimented with a lightweight body using acid-dipped sheet metal, which helped give the car a competitive edge. It was updated with 1968 Camaro body components in an effort two field two cars for the team at the Sebring 12-hour race that year. This car has been restored to its 1968 Sebring appearance, where it won the Trans-Am class and finished third overall. It is presented courtesy of Mr. Patrick Ryan.
