There's a few Ken Koretsky Camaro pics on Draglist which notes he ran an '87 Camaro ProStock through '89 then a Beretta for '90...all Pontiac powered!
Here's the Draglist link also pics below if they work, the last shot w/ yellow paint but or course no nose detail.

Way cool and keep searching also spend some time on Youtube as you may find racing footage of it there?
Aren't all shots above the same car and Exxon/red scoop paint just earlier than the yellow?
Looking forward to seeing your pics!

Neat stuff right there! That's a timeframe of Pro Stock when the cars still looked like cars. Kinda like the &quot;third generation&quot;. First they were production line all steel, then bodies in white with 'glass additions, and then panel cars such as this, and then they evolved into the toy-like appearance running now. I really like that generation Camaro body as a race car, the proportions are great and the larger slicks blend in well, too. I don't remember Kenny Koretsky ever running anything other than Pro Stock, but I'd guess he did as most hardcore drag racers work their way up the ladder. It would be neat to find the rest if the old car and reunite all the parts.

The yellow and white are left over from when the car was owned by reher morrison. The yellow and white are the Levi Garrett colors.

Good info but the yellow before red doesn't make perfect sense so maybe there were two cars?
Lots of Reher-Morrison pics of the car online, some w/ earlier style scoop as below also others w/ Bruce Allen driving after Lee Shepherd's fatal crash.
Looks like it/or one car may still exist too and is part of Delmer McAfee's collection?

looks like same black strip and yellow on rear lower fender as the Reher morrison car.. also looks like same hood yellow and front edge of hood molding... I think I see 4 dzues fasteners along hood also...

anyone notice any obvious differences ?? Would ne nice to find a pic of the car with the combination that is on the clip... anyone ???

Thanks for the input.... thanks SYC

The pic w/ his name in the driver's glass looks the closest, note rear upper fender side pin points and try finding more pics w/ these?
Other than that also decals etc, the black/no black @ headlights and lower nose are the biggest differences I see also again suspect there may've been more than one car and/or nose clips?

The car in the McAfee collection is a different car. The one in the McAfee collection, reher morrison sold it to a local super gas racer I believe before McAfee bought and restored it. The one that koretsky had was bought from reher morrison right when they switched to the Beretta.
