So was that car originally a ZL-1? I'm fascinated by the subject on this one. I've heard of 69 L78 el Caminos being used as chase vehicles for U2 aircraft on landing to stabilize the wings, it was a bicycle landing gear plane. Anyway, thought it neat to see this car in service in 1970 all painted up with an interesting mission. We use friction readings to this day to calculate takeoff and landing performance of large planes.

SS/CA would probably mean it was a 427 car and not a 396 car. Aluminum motor car would maybe make it a SS/BA car if it is NHRA weight. I think Chuck ran B/MP with his Zl-1 at one point. Great car in that paint scheme.
