Re: Jungle Jim's Match Racer
I good friend of mine saw that car at Capitol in 69/70 era. He said Grumpy was there with Jungle tuning the ZL1.
He was running a B/MP Candy Nova at the time. He said it had a sound of its own! Wayne

Re: Jungle Jim's Match Racer
Liberman's accident happened on rt 3 West chester pike. hit a red arrow bus( septa / public tran bus co)
a good friend of my family, Jack Rusin(Jack the ripper car) (who was killed in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago)  (center standing)was good friends with Jim Liberman & Pam(he drove the match car a few times) donated a fire suit to garlis. if you're ever at the garlits museum in ocala Fl. you'll see one of his cars, a fire suite, the news aticle about the accident and part of the key that was broken off in the vette's ignition. more pics at Jungle Pam's Site

Re: Jungle Jim's Match Racer
With a sig of '1 of 311', I'm assuming you have an '69 L89 Camaro?? Very cool.
Thought it was the Sk. X-way, but, been wrong before

Re: Jungle Jim's Match Racer
I remember it like yesterday. I believe the accident occurred at the over pass on rt3, as you enter Westchester eastbound.
