The Camaro was raced by SCA Freight (owned by Adrian Chambers) in the ETCC in 1974, after Britain dropped Group 2 (outlawing the Camaro) in favour of the production based Group 1. Chambers had both Gardner and his Aussie rival Brian Muir, who had been Gardners main competition the last few seasons, to drive the Camaro, but they didn't fare at all well, retiring from every round in the '74 ETCC.
After that the Camaro was sold, and Gardner moved back to Australia. Looking through Frank de Jongs excellent website:
http://www.touringcarracing.net/ there appears to be a very similar looking Camaro raced in 1975 and '76 by Stuart Graham, then following that by Reine Wisell, of Sweden, though the big block looks to have been removed when the car was sold by Chambers.
Where is it now? I'll post this on the Lost Race Cars thread also.
