This ex Joe Chamberlain Camaro, was found in really bad condition in New Zealand and has now been restored.
Apparently this was the first Camaro built by Chamberlain, from the remnants of a wrecked road car, he competed in a half a dozen or so Trans Am races in it, before being invited to race in NZ, after the NZ series finished Chamberlain sold the car and returned to the US. At which point Dennis "the Menace" Marwood ran the car in both NZ and Australia for several years with some success. After which the car went through a series of owners being modified and chopped up until the car became a shadow of it's former self.
When the car was finally rediscovered it was a mess but upon restoration each coat of paint revealed the one underneath as it was stripped off, finally leaving no doubt as to the origins of the car.
Obviously upon returning to the US Chamberlain built the Lennox Camaro to continue with his Trans Am Racing. But it's nice to see this old warhorse, back to it's former glory. Perhaps one day it's new NZ owner will take it back to the US and give it a run in the Historic Trans Am, talk about the long way home.
