I gotta figure out how to scan the darn thing! I'm not sure how to do it here at work using the fax machine, can't seem to get the file over to my computer - without someone seeing what I'm doing!

The info is flowing in, amazing what an old pic can bring out of the woodwork! The car appears to still be around, will post more when I get the pieces put together. Some records show that Andy Zimmerman passed on in 1976.

Found another pic of the Huckleberry Hound, but it's a '66 or '67 GTX! Same names on the car.

Still diggin for info on the '69 Camaro lettered as the HH car, it is indeed a COPO - and is alive!

What was the name of the guy selling those photos at York? Was he at the FCR in E-town? I would like to get some good old local drag photos. Thanks, Kevin

I don't know the guys name, but he has a lot of pics. He says he has 2x that amount still at home!

Short update on the HH car;

The original owner of this car confirms that it was a Tuxedo Black, X11 Copo that was purchased from Wallace Chevrolet in Linden, NJ. The owner removed the VIN (616462)and Trim Tag many years ago, and junked the car. The owner retained the bill of sale, dash bezel, the doors, a fender and possibly the transmission. The owner told each of us the same story, that there was no body and it was junked 20 years ago in northern NJ. These items were for sale, however, approx. 6 people passed on the deal because there was no firewall - much less an entire car. One person considered buying the items as memorabilia, and to prevent a rebody, but the price was prohibitive for that purpose.

About a month ago, I received word that somebody in NY claimed to have bought these items from the orig owner. Additionally, the claim is that the original body was found and pulled from a junk yard after 20+ years even though the orig owner did not remember where the body went. The plan is to restore the car, not sure if it will be done as the HH or factory.

Take it for what it's worth, but beware

Good work Marlin! Love to see those old race cars. Do you know the people in N.Y.? Should we go and take some pictures? Like....before and after Thanks, Sam

Marlin,

Any idea what caused the demise of the car? Did it get wrecked during a race or was rusted out??

The VIN # referenced in this old post was from the original owner of the HH car, which I presume is what the seller in NY purchased way back when.... Wallace sold at least 5 COPO Camaro's, its possible that 2 were black, Frankie recalls the HH car was an X11 body style. Let's see what the seller's VIN is before you go claiming to own the HH car....

Kurt, the HH car is being discussed on FB, but to your point... not For Sale on FB: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...&theater&ifg=1
