Ron Dickson ’74-77 Camaro Z28 350ci

-

Dickson brought in two cars, and like Bartlett was forced by quirk in CAMS rules to retro- t his ’78/’79 Z28s to ’74-’77 front and rear bodywork. As a part-timer Dickson wasn’t the competitiv­e force that Bartlett was, but he did make Hardies Heroes in 1981, and the following year matched Bartlett’s best result at Bathurst in a Camaro, 11th place. Dickson also famously (or infamously) had Australia’s thenrecent World Drivers’ Champion Alan Jones drive the second team Camaro in a deal that lasted just the one Amaroo Park weekend.
