Default Re: Speedvision Changing

Speedvision would show some great old car races and commercials sometimes. I hope they continue to do this. You see some weird stuff in the old footage. I was watching a stock car race from 1972 and some guy was running in the back of the field in a 1969 Chevelle. The car had an SS hood and grill with no SS emblems on it. It looked like a COPO Chevelle. NASCAR did allowed 427s so I wondered if it was a real COPO Chevelle that someone found in 1972 and built a stock car from it. Another time I was watching a movie called "The Racing Scene" with James Gardner and it showed the Sebring 1969 race. A Camaro race car drove by with "YENKO" painted on the side. I checked it out and Don Yenko did race a ZL1 powered Camaro in that race. I still have not been able to find a VHS copy of this movie.
