What happens here

Ray highlights the orange #12 Camaro, driven by Benny Parsons, noting that it still has its original factory-style seat (though not the correct racing seat) and a factory steering wheel, which was common in early IROC cars. He explains that IROC racers often kept their custom-fitted racing seats when moving to new cars, which contributes to the mix-and-match nature of interiors in some restored vehicles. He shows the blue #4 Camaro, driven by Bobby Unser, noting it has similar internal components.

Goal: Examine the interior features and originality of IROC Series 1 Camaros
