The only non dedicated drag car I can remember with a name on it from my old neighborhood was a 67-68 Barracuda with Killer 'Cuda written across the rear 1/4s.

The Only Guy I know who put a name on the 1/4 panel of a Camaro was SSL78 on Alss old RS/SS L78/ZL1. I believe he called it "The Aluminator".

For those of you interested here are some more pics.

In 1980 my car received it's first frame off where the complete underside/firewall were painted to match the body color. I'm sure glad we do things differently today.
