Day 2 & Street Freak Camaro Thread

[whitetop]

Original paint 69 SS Camaro. Owner bought in early 1970 and parked it in 1974-ish and brought it back out 5-6 years ago. Paint was touched up at the bottom of the fenders and bottom of rear qtrs.

Saw the car at a show several years back and he took off the cool bias ply's (L70-14's) and put on small, modern low profile rice burner radials and it just ruined the look. Have you seen the low riders-that's what it looked like. Little itty bitty things with the car at the same height.

Car is burnished brown and yes McCrearys which were big in my area. Car had 14x7 reversed in the rear and 14x6 standard offset front with F70-14

I should check to see if the guy has the tires, they were like new. Hope they didn't end up on the tire recycler pile. Next time I am in that area I will check.
That tire size/wheel size combination does look good on a 69.
Maybe they will bring that size out again one day.

Plowman-the car's rear tail panel body color-just looks dark. Notice the Z/28 emblem on the car..weird things guys did back then.

Man, I love Burnished Brown on those. I'd just go with 15 inchers instead though.

[whitetop]

This 69 is on my top ten list of Day 2 Camaros. The stance is dead on, white painted headers poking out underneath and the color is just right. Car is so clean and no fluff or junk added.

Anymore recent pics of that brown camaro?

For you &quot;Yinzers&quot;.....
A guy who lives near me, Stan bought this car new from a Pittsburgh dealership when he lived in McKees Rocks. Car was not a hugger orange but a special order orange..can’t remember the name. Bracket towing was notorious for scrubbing off front tire tread especially on curvy roads....you &quot;Yinzers&quot; know what the roads are like.... and people in the area know what Yinzers means....
http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k572/OGCPICS/stan3.jpg

Stan was the automotive manager at the local Bridgeport Ohio Fishers Big Wheel dept store (ala Harts, Aimes, Hill’s etc)in the early to mid 70’s. Built the 396 at the store and kept the motor by the counter for a while. FBW sold a bunch of speed equipment in the day.

http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k572/OGCPICS/stan2.jpg

This is how the car looks in the late 70’s and still looks this way 100% today-cars in my area tend to be time capsules. ET mags, Lakewood bars, M/T valve covers, Sun gauges and Tach. Car was painted in the late 70's orange with pearl added with micro white metal flake-looks unbelievable real life.

http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k572/OGCPICS/stan1.jpg

Stan sponsored the local Wheeling Armory car show when he was FBW manager. This was 1973-check out the lower right hand corner.

Hey Whitetop, I'm a former &quot;yinzer&quot; lol, born and raised in Pgh and lived there until I was 30-ish. Great place to grow up.

At work so can't see the pics so I'll have to check it out when I get home.

<span style="font-weight: bold">This Camaro was my favorite car when this magazine was current (1981) I think it just looks awesome. This is in Hawaii btw. Can you imagine what it cost to build that car over there? 3-4X

[Salvatore]

Great pictures Whitetop! I am digging the tow car also. This is how we did it back then.

[427TJ]

Mayhem, I have the '81 CC Street Freaks too and some of those Hawaii cars were cool. Notice the '67 RS/SS 396 Camaro in the drive-in scene. I wanted that car!

[427TJ]

if not Hugger Orange than maybe Carousel Red? Has a '69 C.R. Judge-ey look to it.

[Mayhem]

I hear ya Bill. Almost every car in that issue was awesome. The Cuda with the Centerlines was way cool too.
It's a shame most of the pics were B&amp;W. Cool times though.

I love the Camaro convertible. Street machine convertibles with tunnel rams were very popular back in the day..but they look best with the top up.

I wish more people would run chrome reverse. Don't see it too often.

[Salvatore]

yep, chrome reverse are underrated. They were popular back in the late 60's if you could not afford Cragars. Hard to find today in nice shape. The lettered up 69 C/MP camaro is Butch McKinnon. A good running Modified Eliminator car at Raceway Park on those warm Sunday afternoons back in the day. Boy was I young in those days!

[mockingbird812]

Hector - nice shots. Love the 1st '69 bitin' real hard on the launch. Ooooo BABY!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[whitetop]

Sammy
There are a couple co's making accurate true chrome reverse. Not the universal fit, multi bolt hole with those hokey centers that did not match the factory centers that was available back in the 80's and 90's..

[whitetop]

Nice early Camaro circa 1971/1972. The guy who owned this car and painted it, Chip Whittington, painted all of Rick Dobbertins award winning cars in the 1980's and 1990's.

Stockton Wheel's Milner Series?

[whitetop]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Stockton Wheel's Milner Series? </div></div>

Yep, but get the Chevrolet centers, not the Ford. I heard Stockton was closed but someone else has taken it over??? There is another company making these out of Ca also.

Here are the Chevrolet centers.A set of 15x6 or 15 x7 reversed would look great on a 8-9&quot; wide tire. Reversed chrome reverse was so late 1960's/early 1970's-just what the Camaro convertible in the photos has. I think a standard offset wheel would just not capture the time period...that is more of a early 1960's look IMO

Guy had a set of 4 new 14 x 6 on ebay. Company name is Paulsen

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: whitetop</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I heard Stockton was closed but someone else has taken it over???</div></div> I guess so: their homepage says &quot;under new ownership.&quot;

[4onthefloor]

I think this is the Only Race Camaro that is Day 2+Street Freak mixed with other Odd but Cool Stuff,The truck Rear end is Very Different..Is this car Still Around? http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab89/4onthefloor/coolcamarowithtruckrearend.jpg

[Xplantdad]

Those pics are from Classracer...correct?

[Salvatore]

They may be on Classracer but they are posted more on the HAMB or that other Site with the guys name I just can't think of. There are many photos of this photographer/drag strip that are worth looking at. The old Al Maynard camaro has a quick change rear end in it I believe. Not used by many but he was successful with it back then. These were NOT Day-2 cars,they were race cars not street driven with an occasional run down the drag strip. Gassers, Modified Production cars of the 70's were the best show NHRA had IMO. I believe Modified Eliminator went defuncted by around 1982 or so. Not sure of that 80's date. Many Pro Stock guys got there start running Modified Eliminator along with SuperStock! A great era in NHRA drag racing!

[John Brown]

Those pictures appear to be taken at Edgewater Drag Strip, Cleves Ohio, near Cincinatti. I was only there a few times back in the early 70's, but I'm sure that's where and when they were taken.

[Xplantdad]

The guy who took them...his handle on Classracer is McInk....He's got tons of vintage pics!

[4onthefloor]

I get some of these pics on the Junior Stock forum-They got All kinds of cool stuff on that site..

My street freak. This car hasnt been stock since at least 1984. It has spent most of it's life prowling the streets powered some kind of high strung Chevy engine on nitrous.
