W:eek2:W John, the Red Rat Patrol ‘70 Camaro pictured in Post 1 is Rollie Johnson!
What’s special is, ZL1#54’s Original Engine was transplanted into it new at Cliff Bristow Motors, 3-Hills Alberta.
If you don’t mind, I’ll add the pic to the thread we have going on that car, click here for more…

Good to hear, I have read that about that car and it's story.

Lately I've been down a rabbit hole reading and researching 67-73 Camaro drag cars.

Awesome thread John, love them all as well an keep'em coming.

I notced this pic right away, the little 69 Camaro Watkins Glen Pace Car which was owned by Bob Harris (Camaro Specialties o East Aurora NY) for quite some time. I remember discussing the car with him and he was not able to get any documentation for the Camaro at that time.

Not sure if he still owns it or he if he sold it.

Just a small town privateer with racing in his blood. This 69 COPO replaced his A990 super stock Hemi car.

Awesome picture, aside from a couple extra pounds and some lost hair, the guy looks just like he did when he was young, and replicated the pose perfectly. And, it looks like the car has been either preserved or restored to exact specs. Awesome.

Looks like the same garage and property too.

Lots of nice looking Camaro's. Looks like that 69 Z-28 is going to put that Mopar on the trailer.

Lot of great pictures on this page!

A few more:
John, do you know anything about the picture of the 69 Pace Car? Door says Col. Bill Buck's Command Chevrolet. I looked that up and it looks to have been located in Venice FL. I can't make out the quarter panel but seems to say something about the event.
I am the admin for the 1969 Indy Pace Car Registry and would like to know more about the history of the race, the track and of course the Z11.
Anyone else know?
Thanks in advance, Rich
Edit: One of my members on the Z11 Registry found the answer on CRG. http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=18309.0&fbclid=IwAR33v0sGoV7H4QSKdgI9OrpvM4286h1JccDlKX905 ovCExoMC9H-HTvqHi8

Saw this post, so I thought I’d ad my .02. Partial racing Camaro….

I still have the front to the former Levi-Garrett Reher-Morrison Camaro..(later Kenny Karesky) now collecting dust.

[FTC]

On page 4 of this thread I posted pics of my Z28 when it first started racing, with only the main sponsors' decals on it. The owner, the dealership, and the speed equipment dealer.

Here are some when the decals were plentiful,....but still with the same Grumpy lump style hood bump in these.

Great pictures-what the best ET and MPH and engine combination?

Thanks.

Between 1972 and 1977 from what I know, it ran around 11.4 to 11.8 at 118 to 120mph.

Between 1977 and 1981 the fastest I know of was 10.55...but it might have gone quicker.

Pretty fast none the less for back then,..... running E/MP and quite a few other classes.

I don't know all the engine combos. I do believe it blew the original 12 bolt, had another 12 bolt in it, then ended up with the full floating DANA 60 that's in it today.

Same?

I don't think that TR setup would clear a stinger hood. Both stinger hood photos look like they could be the same.

Looks to me that it has a Grumpy Lump Scoop in this Picture

Fuel pressure gauge looks the same.

I am of the opinion Motion (and it's customers) bounced all over the M/P category. Changing combinations would be right in character. Wish I could see more pics of the car. Lovely to say the least!
