1989 Chevrolet Camaro GT1 Trans Am Racecar

This 1989 Chevrolet Camaro is a tube-frame race car built for SCCA GT1 events, later campaigned by Max Lagod and others in SCCA and SVRA events. It features a Chevrolet SB2.2 377ci V8 paired with a Jerico five-speed manual transmission. The car was re-bodied around 2006 with later-model Camaro-style bodywork, finished in a distinctive yellow and blue racing livery. The equipment includes 16″ WELD Racing wheels, Brembo brakes, Penske adjustable coilover shocks, and a rear wing, among other racing-specific components. It has participated in events like the 2019 VARA Big Bore Bash and the 2023 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
