The Camaro Club (UK)

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what happened to this old Camaro? I was once owned by Terry Gibbs.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info, did you or do you know who did the back half chassis work on it? Did you drive it on the street?

Dave DJ

Hi Dave I think Clive may have got the camaro of a guy in reading. Not sure your best bet is talk to Clive cox .valley gas mite put you in contact with Clive. Sorry forgot to say whe I owned the camar it was stock think I have a photo of it on my drive.

Good luck steve

Thanks Steve for the info, I've spoken to the 1st owner of it in the U.K, he told me quite a bit about it and gave me some old photos, I've tryed to contact Valley Gas and they not been that helpful, told me they had worked on it for a customer but diddent say who and what they did? And not answered back any more, I don't know how to contact Clive Cox? He doesn't seem to go on any forums or Facebook etc? I think Clive Cox worked for Valley Gas while he was racing it?

Dave.

My son ran in Super Gas against Terry in 1992/5 when the camaro was called "Obsession".It was fully tubbed at the rear at that time an out an out drag car.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, but are you sure that's the same car? The obsession Camaro I thought was a full tube car? I have contacted Obssesion Racing, but they have not answered me back,

Im not sure if Terry had 2 camaro,s but the "Obsession" car is the only one i know of.I have a photo of the car racing at Avon park but it,s not that good a picture.Have you spoken to Terry about the car?I don,t know if he is still around as lots of the old drivers have passed on.One person that may know is Jeff Bull as he raced at the same time as Terry or Jim Mc gee as they were in super gas.

Terry had quite a few Camaro's in his time, he run Camaros Unlimited, his son I think run the Obsesion Camaro, Terry passed quite a while ago, Clive Cox has run the car when he worked for Valley Gas, but I can't get hold of him either! The car was run in Pro Et.

They were 2 totally different cars.
