1969 Camaro SS with a Flathead...yup

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Could it have been to run a specific class?

The guy was racing in a class that only allowed flathead V8's, inline six and inline eight cylinder engines.

May have never had power booster. The power brakes was an optional item on 68 SS Camaros I believe. Power discs became mandatory on the SS model in 69. Most 68s Ive seen did not have power brakes originally.

Is that BB heater box though?? Interesting build back in the day though !!

That all may be true, but even though the picture was from 1968, the Camaro is still a 67.... or at least the grille is.
