High Beams On?

The Butch Schultz '61 Biscayne is restored and still owned by Butch. Resides in WA. Not the original engine but a real '61 '09. It was one of the 142 originals delivered.

Verne:beers:

Camaro is in England rebodied as an 81 and the hauler is a few miles from my house still in Rod Shop lettering. This is the original Columbus Ohio Rod Shop team hauler and later Bob Bond from near I live bought it and the 71 Hemi Rod Shop Charger.

A classmates dad bought the hemi 71 Charger approx 77-78 from Bond and it was in his barn on his farm until they sold it maybe 7-8 years ago.

The Rod Shop Dodge Colt with the Guerny Weslake engine sits 4 miles from my house.(engine long gone)

The Shangri-La Camaro (post 996) is/was the Bill Izykowski "Super Paranoia" Super Stock. I now own this car; current original miles are 980. I've gathered practically everything needed for a transformation back to the "Summer of '69".

Pretty sure the light blue C/S Biscayne in post 1022 started life as Bill Izykowski's "Kicks" B/S 427 Biscayne.

Wow, cool, I didn't know that. I believe I have a small photo of Izykowski's 1969 Camaro somewhere in my files. I'll post it if/when I come across it.

I presume Bill didn't own it long else there'd be more photos around of the car.

Am I correct?

I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised.

Bill only drove the Camaro one season. He sold it to Barry Curran as he then drove for Scotto & Blevins. Bill was Car Craft Magazine's Stock Eliminator Driver of the Year in 1968 driving his second '66 427 Biscayne named "Paranoia".
The first '66 "Kicks" ran in A/S (I posted incorrectly stating B/S). Almost positive that he sold that car to Joe DiLoreto. Joe Di is still racing a '66 Biscayne that is red and called "For Love & Money" but it is not the original car.

Pete, I have several pictures of the "Super Paranoia" Camaro, but I could balance the National Budget easier than getting them to appear here. I'll gladly send them to you if you'd be kind enough to post them for everyone to see. I've become good friends with Bill and am also good friends with Joe Scotto.

Yeah, I remember Bill driving Paul's Corvette while Paul drove the 1955 Nomad then later on, Pro Stock Vega.

More great history. Love it!

Pete

Aw schucks, it ain't that hard. :) Go ahead, email the photos to me and I'll gladly post them here.

Send me a PM.

Great Pics ! Do you have any 75-80 Dragway specific pictures ?

You're welcome.

Not really. Just some photos from there. When I come across them I'll post them.

The first Pro Stock Vega built if I remember correctly. Yep, before Jenkins' (his was the 2nd).

I don't know why people look at me when like I'm nuts when I tell them I think V8 Vegas are bad ass.

Vegas are cool!!!

The reason is they have never ran up against one -- they were BAD A$$ for sure.

Oh, yeah...

Joe Franco also ran this '62 '09 before the Camaro. The car still exists somewhere in NJ. These are the early pits at Englishtown.

The car ran in the money in SS several times at E-Town with a later Jenkins motor. Black tuck&roll interior. Originally owned by Dickie Mauriello. Both have now passed.

Cool '62! Thanks for the story behind the photos!
