Has there been any progress on tracking the car?

Pro Stock John 11-03-2024 06:10 PM

No, the lead into NC didn't result in any progress.

Just an observation. In July the Pittsburgh car was at the camaro Nationals in Morgantown PA. This past weekend at the dragfest at the Lebanon county PA expo center there were a few second gen tribute cars and Larry Lombardo was in attendance but there was a certain 68 camaro not in attendance. Just an fyi the Lebanon county PA expo center is 2 exits closer off the PA turnpike then the Morgantown exit to Pittsburgh.

A pic was posted on FB, its the car before Joe Algieri took it a part and did a bunch of work to it.

A often-shared pic of the Camaro:

The reverse lockout handle is a 67 Camaro/firebird only Hurst aluminum handle than was cut down. Pretty darn cool.

And where might someone find one of those today ? and would it cost less than $1,000..LOL
That handle should fit a '68 also, as they are the same in the Competition Plus line.

Pro Stock John 08-28-2025 08:58 PM

I'm still surprised this car hasn't surfaced. Maybe one day we'll find out.

Doug Boyce did a great job of researching all the cars but this one and the '69 both kinda disappeared into the fog of the past.

I wonder how many of these he grenaded over the course of a racing season? This is #13 so maybe at least 12?

Carleen 08-28-2025 11:12 PM

Has anyone talked to Richie Zul? If he's still alive?
He might know what happened to the 1968 and 1969 Camaros.
If I remember correctly, he bought the Toy VI from Jenkins.

Pro Stock John 08-29-2025 01:45 AM

I'm pretty sure he's still kicking, lives in Long Island NY. His son posts in the FB Nostalgia Pro Stock group if one of Richie's old rides is posted.

I read an interview that grumpy had a guy do nothing but rebuild trannys at his shop.
