This ad caught my attention. Probably because I like Calebīs yellow COPO so much.
Is this car known to exist today ?

G stock? Which combo is that? It's below the Z/28 (E or F)...350 maybe? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Cool ad though! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Z/28...Remember old rules. 69's were a little heavier. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Interesting. Cowl hood but no spoilers. Cool ad. It's great to see pictures from back then.

Spoilers were for road racing. Drag racers didn't need downforce, saved a 10th or so without them by lowering the amount of aerodynamic drag front and rear.

The hood made me think it was a 427 car. Thatīs why I posted it here. Never thought about the G !
