Scuncio Chevrolet

[superstocker]

That red 69 Camaro was driven by the late Joe Delorenzo. The car broke records in the US and Canada.

The car ran in many differnet class,SS/J,SS/JA,SS/N,SS/M etc. Joey could drive anything and drove a 4 speed car like most can only dream of. He set this track record on 11/6/76 with the Camaro doing 11.34 at 118.26 with a 350 4 speed combo in the car. The car is still raced today.

Great you're here Bob!.

Joey's times are amazing for a SB car!.

Gotta ask, would Joey be related to Tony DeLorenzo of Road-Racing fame?.
Tony was most famous for his rides in the Owens-Corning Team Corvettes...Don Yenko co-drove on a few occasions too..
I may be wrong but seem to remember reading that Tony's father may have had some connection or worked for GM?.

-----Tonys father was a GM vice-president and apparently doted on his son as Tony recieved one of the 20 67 L88s (black) as well as a black 69 L88 roadster that went to Europe eventually and then returned to be restored a few years ago at the Nabors in Houston. Both cars were seriously raced and abused. The 69 will be showing up for sale any day now and is just a beautiful car with a seriously cool pedigree. Tony actually came to Bloomington Gold the year the 69 was judged and won a high-point gold. I would be surprized if there was any relation between Joey and the Detroit DeLorenzo family but dont know for certain.
-----As a sidebar, Tonys brother has a cool website called AUTOEXTREMIST.COM. Always a different perspective on Detroit type happenings.........Bill S

Thanks for the info Bill...very interesting stuff and quite the position to be in as the son of a GM VP!.
Wonder what happened to that original Owens-Corning L88 hood that was floating around last year?.

I dont know anything about the car on ebay but there have been more Scuncio claims in the past 6 months than in the previous 38 years. Last year everyone thought scuncio was a brand name for a cappuccino maker, now everyone has a car from there.
