^ COPO spoiler 1970 Z28 in the ad ^
Those tires look goofy on that car, the letters are too large for my taste, YMMV, IMHO, etc
Is that Sonny Bono riding shotgun?

Coming soon in an issue of Muscle Car Enthusiast is a good-size article I wrote that looks back at my old speed shops (seventies and early eighties). It was a cool assignment. I used some old faded photos we had and coupled it with first person perspective. One cool photo I found was of me and a set of the first d-port big block heads ever released. I was kneeling beside my 1968 Z/28....it had 1400 or so miles on it and was turned into a race car. It was campaigned with a whole bunch of different small and big block combinations in both Super Stock and Modified Eliminator. Yikes. In the background in that photo is a set of Hooker race headers, an ACCEL BEI, an ACCEL starter and a set of tall Moroso valve covers. There was an LS7 sitting on the engine stand behind me. Talk about Day 2!
Anyway, watch for the article. I had a really good time writing it.

No disrespect to our female members but man those photos just remind me how much I miss the late 60's/early 70's girls in automotive advertising...high heels, short skirts and car parts just go together so well!!!
