Too cool...looks like a big car in the other lane !! Better get out the spray gun and get that old paint scheme on it !!

That's very cool. Wouldn't you have been disappointed if bwag didn't share that information he had? Maybe now since your so happy with the site we will learn more about your car?

Nice score!

Interesting...looks like an SS emblem on the grill, but the "SS/DA" designation was where the L72s played...doesn't prove/disprove anything, just observations...

Very cool pictures. Are there any dates on the pictures? Is that an early short spoiler on the rear of the car, it looks a little odd.

Darren, My soul is open to you. What more can I tell you that wasn't shared a year ago in the link that was posted?
(not said sarcastically ) I posted the trim tag yesterday.
All I know is whAT i KNOW. Dick Arons did the motor for bob Schmidt Chevrolet in 69....So, as a 19437, who knows what engine came in it in 1969. I know it ran in the mid 11's with the time slips the seller gave me in 1984. I know I went 11.4 at Atco in 1990 with it on the M+H's that came with the car. I' know it's one bad ass car that you hear 1/2 of a mile before you see it! Please, come to NJ and we'll go over it. I'm sure, like BWAG, I'll learn something new!
Your pal, Jeff

Ok so it sounds like you have no idea what the car was originally. Not an ounce of anything wrong with that. It's a very cool car. Have you ever contacted anyone associated with Bob Schmidt to get more history?

That picture blown up would be perfect for duplicating all the markings.

Belair62 · #7 10-05-2005, 06:55 AM

Don't you think it would be cool i it's racing colors ?? I do...

Tough call...I guess now that you have the pics you can have hours of conversation with them !

Yes, when I bought the car in 1984, I was in touch with the dealer who said he ordered the car from GM that way, then Arons went thru the engine to run NHRA. In the paperwork, came Aron's blueprint check-list and the bill-of-sale dated 4/30/74, from Schmidt that said "As-is sale SS-427 Camaro"

I had posted a pic on 8-18 in 70's style paint and graphics att. 153997 showing the car with Barrie Pooles Mustang and Don Grotheer's Cuda. That shot was at the first Gatornationals in 1970.

Jeff I have the paint and I will find the time. Ol Yeller looks good with the graphics. It’s always been
and always will be a race car. It’s just a race car with mufflers on it now…..
