Here's a vintage pic I found that was originally snapped at the old Pittsburgh International Dragway. Sorry for the terrible quality, it's a lousy digital shot of an old snapshot.

Erik,
Very cool Vintage Photo. Is there any way I can get a copy? It looks very much the way it has been restored today, back to 1969-70 era.

Sorry...I wish I had a better copy, but I don't own the original, only the poor digital snapshot of it you see here. The pic was on display at the annual PID reunion and is owned by the old track photographe, whose name eludes me right now. If the pic or any others are on display at the next reunion, I'll be sure to get a better copy of it for you and post it here. Cool Camaro though, with plenty of race history for sure.

No, we sold it at the Mecum Auction last Fall. It went into a collection.

I just thought that the clearer picture would be neat to post as well as the Vintage action photo.

A cool car to say the least.

Looks like HH, along with Jerry Mc.'s '68 Z "Old Reliable" will be at Mecum in the Spring.
