Sunoco Camaro sold... - Lateral-g Forums

Don't know if this has been posted before but it looks like Ken Epsman has sold the 1969 Penske/Sunoco Camaro which has been recently seen at Bruce Canepa's place in Santa Cruz...this took place around December.

I understand the new buyer lives on the west coast and has a couple vintage Can-Am cars he runs so hopefully we'll see it out and about here again soon...maybe at Wine Country and the Historics this year.

I'm hearing the selling price is just north of $1M (the '70 Jim Hall Chaparral Camaro was also sold for right at that same figure last year) so obviously,known vintage T/A cars are still commanding strong money.

I'm debating on posting pictures of the big crash involving the Sunoco car a few years back @ Infineon...maybe I'll wait just a bit longer.

Come on John, you know we are sick people when it comes to crash photos--(it's the only reason for watching Nascar quite frankly)---post them up immediately--

It would be nice if mine would bring one tenth of that.

Fight that temptation, John. Don't do it ...

It's nice to see a second gen go for that kind of money too.
I hope the car gets some use and isn't hidden from the public.

Post those pics, I know I'd also like to see them. I love the T/A cars and anything to do with them.

John,
That picture is nasty! Also, that picture reminds me of the bent metal at Goodwood a few years back.

Yep, I've seen 'em. Could be problematic if the new owner knew how they were acquired and that they were published for all to see.

Call me tomorrow and I'll tell you a story about a similar situation that ended very badly ... financially very badly.
