Friendly Chevrolet 427 Camaro Pics

[whitetop]

Here are some pics of the Friendly Chevrolet 427 Camaro driven by "Mr. Bardahl" Bill Hieshler. Bill also had a 396 car with a flat hood. Notice the hood on the 427 car. Was Friendly Chevrolet a Yenko/Harrell etc dealer? I've also included a picture of the Steakly Bros Camaro. Both Friendly and Steakly Bros. Chevrolet sponsored many many drag cars in late '60's. Both dealers were located in Dallas Texas. Must of had a competition going. The Steakly car (396 powered) was driven by "The Professor" Kelly Chadwick who later went onto funny car fame. Both Bill & Kelly had 427 powered 69 Camaro's later, wonder if they were Zl-1's or Copo's.

I would like to see more "period correct" modified cars like these being restored today. I'm sorry but the "dog dish" cars bore me to tears. Don't these modified cars look bad as h*ll!!! I love the paint and the lettering. Anybody else out there agree with me?
