Jesel's Camaro was a 1974 model if I remember correctly. I suggest you pose this question and post the photos to the Classracer.com web site. Lots of long time drag racers there should be able to figure out whose car it was.

Thanks Pete. I always thought it stood for development too,but I was talking to one of the guys from Black Arrow engines who said it like that,so I thought maybe I was onto something new. It is great to have your help. I will be going to buy the car in the next week or two,and then I will have more info in my hands. I plan on carefully sanding off the paint,and looking for more clues. I will put up some pics of what I find. Whatever the car turns out to be,I won't be hacking it up,and it seems to be a cool piece of racing history. If nothing else,I will do a few safety updates,and drop my 427 and glide in it and run it as a low 10 second bracket car. I am interested in how early on the firewall was cut,because that is one of the things that I don't like about the car and would consider in doing.
