no ,it was open headers.but the owner still has the tailpipes on the car ,it has a current registered tag on the car and the owners claims he still drives the car on the street from time to time.Chris

Here is a 4000 lb 1968 Impala running in the E/S class.

396/325, 10.25 compression, 4-speed running 11.94 @114mph!

In other words I can see it happening that a 1969 Camaro 302 11.1 motor could run 11.6 considering the weight advantage.

The good 302 D/S 302 Camaros are running 10.50's.

You are right on that number Bob!

Back in the early 70's you needed those or at least one exhaust pipe or tail pipe. 11.60's could be done with mostly stock parts and a good gear ratio. You could darn near drive an early 70's style stock eliminator car on the street but not today. The E/Stockers of today are running well into the 10.70's. An average Z/28 back then with some good tuning and headers, tires and a 5:13 gear would run 12 flats all day. That sounds like a real nostalgic TRUE stock eliminator car from old days. Any pictures?

Did the guy say where he was from?

That sounds just like a car I saw at Immokalee Raceway in Naples, FL.

That thing was just cool with slapper bars and looking pretty much stock.

Sam,i believe that is actually what this 69 Z28 is.A early 70's style stocker;i didn;t bring my camera;but the owner showed me inside the trunk;;great condition;and still retains the stock gas tank.Mark the owner is from upstate NY.But he said he moved to south florida years ago;so it is probably the same car.Chris
