Bob had a '61?

Bob,
I believe Dale just might own the very first '61 Super Sport (with original 409). It's a long story, but I worked with Dale on it many years ago before he bought it, to get it properly documented. It's got a special GM installed ID tag on top of the cowl in addition to the regular cowl tag. It's one of those one-off exec cars (like the Estes car). It has A/C, which was never offered on a production 409 (until '63). It's the "real deal".
Dale is a great guy too!

Verne

Looks like the famous Dana Camaro hood was made by Berry Plasti-Glass Co..

Here is a pic of one on the cover of a 1969 issue of Hi-Perf. CARS magazine. Doesn't say anything about this car being from Dana (has the hood) and the only real identifying features of this Camaro is the claim on the grill of it being the "Worlds Fastest 327 Camaro" and it has Joe "something"?? lettered on the rear quarter panel. There are no other pics of the car in the magazine.. (no article either). Anyone know the car? I wonder how popular that hood was back then??

Seems more than just "Dana" cars ended up with that hood.

Looks like a set of dual quads sticking out of the hood with a ram air box, and hoses. A C/Gasser would be running dual quads or injection.

I believe that is Joe Sherman's Camaro. The car was a very early SS350 car with radio and heater delete. Was bought new through Washburn Chevrolet in Santa Barbara and prepped by Bob Joehnck. Back in '67 it had "World's Fastest 350" in the grille area. I think it ran a lot of AHRA events but probably NHRA too. Joehnck printed a magazine on the preparation of the car. It is pretty cool. I have heard that Joe Sherman located the car several years ago and got it back but I don't know if that's a fact or not. The entire front end was fiberglass when prepared in '67. I forget what company did it but they used the sheetmetal off this car as the basis for the fenders, hood, etc that they ended up molding.

Sounds like good info. Would be great if Joe did find the car again. Thanks!
