Re: Vintage drag photos
Many great Div-1 cars. The Taz Devil is still wearing that same paint scheme with original paint. Its a real LS-6 car. I believe that red nova is Grumps old car.

Re: Vintage drag photos
The 'HUCKLEBERRY HOUND' car is a black/black COPO from Wallace Chevrolet. Original owner is now retired in FL, retained the bill of sale and plate(s) from the car - before it was reportedly junked. Paper and tags were for sale about 6-7 years ago, a guy in NY supposedly bought the paper & tags because he had found the car...... Never heard from him again.

The Pizza Man was popular in my neck of the woods growing up. It was a screamer.

Re: Vintage drag photos
Here is one of a 1967 Camaro that I saw on US Nationals 35 years ago in 1979. At the time I thought it just looked cool. If it is running in SS/I I guess it might be a Z/28.
Anyone recognize Miller Bros. 1967 Rampant Camaro? http://www.protouring.se/files/Indy_1979023.jpg Jan |
Re: Vintage drag photos
I'm guessing a Division 3 car based on the driver #?

I just posted a hope somebody recognizes this car post in the Supercar / Musclecar Area. Since it's on topic, I figured I'd add it here too.

Re: Vintage drag photos
I'm curious if anybody can help ID this car and any of its past history. It was originally an F-F Norwood L78 RS/SS (4K) with black standard interior. Console but no gauges. The car has a cage and tubs in it. It was purchased out of Ohio 10+ years ago and was supposedly an A/Stock drag car when new. It appears to have spent time in Illinois. When I contacted the NCRS service, they unfortunately had no record in reference to the VIN. Does anybody recognize the cartoon caricature drawing on the back of the car? The rear wheel lip shows some clues to a past color scheme. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well the caricature itself is the old "Kilroy was here", made famous back in WWII. What I was really asking was if anybody recognized that caricature as being on an old Camaro drag car from back in the day.

Re: Vintage drag photos
just a question on whether there are any "rules" when it comes to "stock" body parts on these early 2nd gen Camaros
I know in SCCA, you HAVE to have everything as it came in the option package or model, no mixing and matching the number of fake RS bumperette cars in this thread is numbing, but there is another "bastardized" front end combination that even looks worse ... I UNDERSTAND why the regular front end cars use the RS bumperettes, it is lighter, but NOT correct (and would get you bounced in the SCCA): https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...ob_schafer.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...g_camaro_4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...91/satmary.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...0camarool0.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...rioCamaro1.gif http://imageshack.us/a/img22/5937/lindaherrell.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img11/8453/1024nn.jpg I DON'T understand this one though ... I guess they ditch the heavy center section and keep the RS valances and somehow mold/morph a 72-73 full bumper grille ... http://imageshack.us/a/img502/8237/mikevalerio.jpg correct & complete RS front: http://110.imagebam.com/download/dW7...erformance.jpg correct & complete standard full bumper front: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...marogasser.jpg Just curious as to how the "rules" work or were supposed to work ... |
Re: Vintage drag photos
I believe back then if the car came with it in any combo you could run it in NHRA.
Things changed more when they let them run the fiberglass front valences and even some of the glass nose pieces. If another racer did not protest you, NHRA let it go most of the time. AHRA, IHRA and NHRA had their own sets of rules. Maybe try to pick up some old Rule Books for better explanations. Most of those 70 and up camaros were not very competitive in Pro Stock thus moving to the Vega. Modified Eliminator they were good to go. Dennis Ferrera with the BM car in A/MP. KILLER! |

Re: Vintage drag photos
Here is a video off of Youtube, my apologies if it's been posted before. There's a lot more makes on here than just Chevrolets. At the 8:46 mark there's a Garnet Red 69 Camaro called the "Aluminum Rat"

Re: Vintage drag photos
I'll chime in with a few thoughts, comments and requests. NHRA was pretty strict in Stock and Super Stock. No hood scoops or fiberglass parts unless factory installed. As for drivetrain combinations, they had to match the year of production; exterior appearance had to as well. There was also the "Year Rule" where a race car could only be so old as compared to the THEN current model. That is why some cars would get updated grills, trim, tail lights, etc. That's also why some good cars were forced to change class or even sanctioning body. Early on in the glory years of Stock and Siper Stock, NHRA mandated that the engine block, heads and carb be of the same manufacturing year as the car represented, but later they loosened the rules somewhat.
Now to my requests: I'm always hunting for any photos pertaining to any of the "Anderson Olds" race cars, particularly the '69 W-31 that I own and race. I'm also looking for pictures of a 1969 Camaro that I now own, it too is an ex-race car. When new, the Camaro was raced as "Super Paranoia" in SS/H by Bill Izykowski. It was then sold and renamed "Shangri-La" and had a couple different paint jobs and owners. The car spent a lot of time at East Coast tracks but did run The Gatornationals and the U.S.Nationals in B/S and SS/D. |
Re: Vintage drag photos
Yep, .
Stock and Super Stock...factory steel... Some guys knew some lightening tricks without the "acid" route...... After a few years, replacement sheet metal from Fisher Body used a gauge of sheet stock lesser than production line to stamp body panels...... Lottsa Stock /Super Stock cars 3-4 years old & older Did the Sheet Metal swaps..... Late In 70 & Early 71 most Camaros wore glass panels in Pro Classes & M/P......by 72 most had only steel 1/4's , ribbibing & roofs. Partial tube frames, 100% back halved.. etc. That's why Today, Authentic Early 2nd.Gen Race cars found after decades of hiding are Very Cut, Heavily Altered.. The Rules were as fast to change as the cars were..... From. 11 seconds to the 9's. In less than 2 years. |
