That is a photo of the  car when it was the pace car at Sunset in 1971. Glen Shakell is in the driver's seat, Bob Brooks is the passenger. I believe Bob was the track promoter and drove the car to various local events during the year. Nate Salter is in the first window in the tower on the left. He was the handicapper and scorer.
The car was repainted in Labatt's 50 gold (over top of the Limelight) for the 1972 season.

I would like to find some more photos of the 1971 Superbird Pace car so I can re create the original lettering and images. In particular, I can see some kind of image on the hood, but I need another angle to determine what it is. Or if anyone who saw the car back in 1971 can recall what was on the hood. (It might be the Sunset Speedway's logo?)

Realwing: I'm a big Mopar fan too, I've got a 1970 Fargo right now, I used to have a '70 Charger and a '70 Duster 340 before I got the "racing bug" :)

I can't help you out with any pics, but have you checked with Jackson's Toyota? They're still in business here in Barrie, on Mapleview Dr. I'm pretty sure it's the same family. They went to selling Toyotas in the late 70's early 80's...

REALWING,  I was talking to Glenn Shakell's son today, and he said to go see Glenn at the wrecking yard in Hillsdale.  He said his dad has tons of pictures of the car.
