Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
it was called the "sport" package, avail on any 71 or 72 Lemans
I worked at Pontiac from 71 - 74 and the "last" of the 72 model production run was mostly "Sport" versions, I recall seeing SEVERAL 100% loaded convertibles going to a Las Vegas dealer, the window sticker was twice the base msrp ... and they weren't even GTO's ... common mistake by people over the years, any 71-72 LeMans with the Sport option was automatically considered a GTO because it looked like one ... |
Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
The option was called T41, which attached the Endura "GTO" front bumper to any 1971/1972 Lemans or Lemans wagon. When an owner plopped some GTO stickers on the fenders and a GTO emblem in the grille, well, it leads to all sorts of confusion today. As a sidenote, they never made a 71/72 GTO station wagon, or a 72 GTO convertible, but there are lots of T41-nosed Lemans's running around with GTO stickers. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
I was looking at this ad for a rough Lemans w/ the factory Endura nose & Canadian docs last week..

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
I was looking at the class win stickers and noticed the Eldora sticker. I grew up near there and it was my home track during the 80's. My dad raced Dick Landy there during the 60's with a 63 Sport Fury.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Neat Story about this car........
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...untitled-3.jpg This is the Birthplace of the Chitown Hustler.......John Farkonas built the car in his Garage and brought it out to Byron Dragway for the first time at a Major Area meet...Having never seen the car before I spent a good amount of time looking at it as it was Engineered better than anything else that was around at the time.......Farkonas was a "Sliderule" Pocket Protector guy that built a car ahead of it's time, but wasn't a tuner or driver....which was evident after his first pass...LOL...anyhow, Austin Coil came over to look at the car and gave John some tuning tips and Tuned the car (which John appeciated)......Don't remember what it ran, but it scared the Hell out of Farkonas.......so , he asked Coil to drive ( at the time Coil was a Chrysler Mechanic and raced a Hemi Plymouth)......But Austin didn't want to drive it either.......one of Austins friends, Pat Minnick (who was a Chicago Policeman) came walking by and Austin knew Pat had the Balls to get in the car....Pat drove the car that day and they won the meet.......And....That's how it all started https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...BruceRocks.gif |

The car was impressively built. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Also forgot about the CT Engineering association. Jack Ditmars carried that on "Lil Screamer" and "Der Mini Brute". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif |

Jenkins sold the 68 L89 Camaro to Carmen Rotonda and it's location is not known. The 69 L78 is also still missing in action. Jerry </div></div> Hi, I know this is kind of a late response but, I'm Larry Kimball's grandson. He sold the camaro that he restored for 750,000. I would know, I counted all the cash. I believe it was sold to guy who was going to put it in a museum in PA. I can't really remember all the details from where this guy was from or where he was putting it, as I was only 12 or 13 at the time.

Great pics!!!
As everyone here knows, Marshall Chev was a Yenko network dealer!. In the Nova pic, looking closely at the Marshall sign in the background you can easily see the Yenko crest/logo also looks like it notes 427 Chevelles/Camaros/Novas?.
