Re: Herbie's Hugger L89 Super Stock Camaro
 

Here's a vintage pic I found that was originally snapped at the old Pittsburgh International Dragway. Sorry for the terrible quality, it's a lousy digital shot of an old snapshot.

Erik,
Very cool Vintage Photo. Is there any way I can get a copy? It looks very much the way it has been restored today, back to 1969-70 era.

Re: Herbie's Hugger L89 Super Stock Camaro
 

Sorry...I wish I had a better copy, but I don't own the original, only the poor digital snapshot of it you see here. The pic was on display at the annual PID reunion and is owned by the old track photographe, whose name eludes me right now. If the pic or any others are on display at the next reunion, I'll be sure to get a better copy of it for you and post it here. Cool Camaro though, with plenty of race history for sure. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Stef: do you still have the HH car? Gotta love those Go-Fast pictures! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Herbie's Hugger L89 Super Stock Camaro
 

No, we sold it at the Mecum Auction last Fall. It went into a collection.

I just thought that the clearer picture would be neat to post as well as the Vintage action photo.

Re: Herbie's Hugger L89 Super Stock Camaro
 

A cool car to say the least. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Looks like HH, along with Jerry Mc.'s '68 Z "Old Reliable" will be at Mecum in the Spring.

Randy,
You don't miss a beat! Yes, it was a no-sale at RM.

Re: Herbie's Hugger L89 Super Stock Camaro
 

I am new to your site and it is great to see the interest in Herbie's Hugger. I live only minutes from where the Peterson Memorial Dragway was, it is now a industrial park with only the starting line remaining. P.M.D. on occasion had races with very famous racers. I will begin checking for photos or video of Herbie's Hugger. I am looking for any photos of another car that raced in SS/C at Peterson's named the Book Chevy City PACESETTER. (67 Camaro L78)

Re: Herbie's Hugger L89 Super Stock Camaro
 

The original Herbie's Hugger will be part of the Gilmore Car Museum's (near Kalamazoo, MI) new exhibit "History - 1/4 Mile at A Time" featuring over 20 iconic drag racers. The exhibit opens May 1 and runs through October 31.
http://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org/html...tent_id=7& for more info on it.

A Cackle Fest (not the cars on display) will also take place on Memorial Day Weekend at the Gilmore Car Museum.

Another photo of Herbie's Hugger.

Came across this today and thought I would share it here.
