Having won the 1962-63 titles in a six-cylinder Jaguar, tyre magnate Bob Jane’s response to seven years of playing second fiddle in the ATCC was to build a bigger and better mousetrap. The hard-nosed Melbourne businessman imported a Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 from the US with a massive all-alloy 7.0-litre V8 engine that simply overwhelmed 1971 pre-season favourite Allan Moffat’s 5.0-litre Mustang. Sporting a menacing-looking bonnet bulge, the rare Camaro ZL-1 (only 69 were ever built) was the pinnacle of Chevy high performance.
