Wow, cool, I didn't know that. I believe I have a small photo of Izykowski's 1969 Camaro somewhere in my files. I'll post it if/when I come across it.

I presume Bill didn't own it long else there'd be more photos around of the car.

Am I correct?

Okay, you asked for it.

I am looking for any photos that anyone might have of a Grecian Green 1968 L72 Biscayne that was raced at Minnesota Dragways and NorthStar Dragstrip from 1969-1972. Car was never lettered, so it would just be plain Grecian Green paint and car had rally wheels as it was fitted with factory front disc brakes. Driver/owner at the time was Larry Myers.

Car set the C/MP track record at Minnesota Dragways at the 1972 KDWB Radio Drag Meet. Any photos or news reports of that event are also much appreciated.

Any help is appreciated. PM me or email to [email protected]. Thank you!

Car doesn't ring a bell but if I come across it in my vast collection of car pix (been collecting them from the internet since 1997) I'll be sure to post photo(s) and let you know that I did.

Bill only drove the Camaro one season. He sold it to Barry Curran as he then drove for Scotto & Blevins. Bill was Car Craft Magazine's Stock Eliminator Driver of the Year in 1968 driving his second '66 427 Biscayne named "Paranoia".
The first '66 "Kicks" ran in A/S (I posted incorrectly stating B/S). Almost positive that he sold that car to Joe DiLoreto. Joe Di is still racing a '66 Biscayne that is red and called "For Love & Money" but it is not the original car.
