This isn't a Yenko but it has possibilities of being a true low mile Find.

What do you mean by that? I hear that the driver Ron Vaia put a Z28 crate motor in the car.

I mentioned that because in the pictures,it looks like a "302" on the front part of the fender.

Make sense?

Jim sent me this pic of his car when it was still in drag trim. You can see in this pic why Jim put 1/4 panels on it.

You're right Charley - them ain't the quarters on the car now.

Wonder if he had the speedo hooked up at the track. Is it possible that many of those 3345 miles were put on a quarter mile at a time?

Thnaks for the cool photos Charley!

Moving the wheelwell opening forward for slick clearance was pretty common on 69 camaros. They'd either cut it off, or move the wheel flare forward and tin, or mud the gap. If they were serious about racin, that front edge left.
