The real Norwood Motors excitement is @ the below linked thread and SYC member Helmut connecting w/ Howard, the original owner of his '69 L89 Chevelle that was Supercar converted new by Motion connected racer Mel Perry and Day-1 delivered by Norwood Motors w/ an L88!
I had a few more Norwood pics in my system and thought them best here but anyone interested is best click on the other thread as this link.
Norwood Motors '69 L88 Chevelle thread...
https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=141828

Looking at the funny pics in both threads, the car w/ Mel Perry on the flanks has a slanted roof but the Super Hugger body not also body up pics show the two chassis appear to be different too?
The chassis could've been updated when body swapped but all seems more likely there were two separate 67/68 body cars plus the '70 body chassis which looks completely different yet also much more sophisticated?
Anyone know more about Norwood's 67/68 funny cars also if they had more than one ZL1 engine?

Another shot of Ralph Ridgeway's Norwood Chevrolet sponsored '69.
Note hood scoop height for RR's experimental intake systems.
