The Supercar Registry - Old Drag Car Pictures.........

One of the many sections of a Camaro website that I have been working on putting together for a while is a drag race section. This weekend I started to clean up some of the pics that will be used. Some are not final shots and are literally pictures pf pictures at this point as I am waiting for true scans so quality is not always great but figured some of you may like them. Also if anyone would like to contribute any pictures for use on the site of any year Camaro please feel free to contact me.

1. 1967 Camaro L78 convertible, true day two pic as it is literally the day after it was bought. The paper in the rear quarter window is actually the window sticker. This car would go on to become the BatCar setting numerous NHRA and AHRA records and winning numerous championships under both race drivers in its career.

I will try and post a few more later on if people are interested or they can see everything once they go up on the site but that may be months off yet. So far the only part that has much in it is the vintage advertising section.
