Re: Scuncio Chevrolet
[/ QUOTE ]Any LM1 realted time slips, racing pics etc are very welcome! Am I correct in assuming that the 69 red convertible in the pics is the car that was used in the 72 record application? Any other info on Joe? I googled him , but did not find much. Thanks Guys, Rich [/ QUOTE ] The red car is the one in the 72 recored app,the car is still raced by the Emmons brothers out of Texas and is still red with a white top. Joe D lost a battle with cancer about four years ago,he was a true friend and the best men at my wedding. I have some pictures and other stuff if you would like to see them,I have to have a friend of mine help me to post them so it will be a day or two. |
Re: Scuncio Chevrolet
Wow! Cancer sucks.
Joe seemed like he knew his way around the track the way you guys describe him. What's cool is that there is so much attention to the "Super" cars, and big block cars in general that we sometimes miss what the skill of a driver can do for a car! I am into the unusal camaros, and LM1's fall into that category (as well as L30/M20's and 1LE's). One of these day's I'll finish the LM1 registry website. When you get some time, sure, I'd love to see the pics (and get downloads of that's ok), and even here more about Joe and his racing. Rich |
Re: Scuncio Chevrolet
Rich I sent you an email. I sold a Cortez Silver LM1 Camaro that had tach and console gauges,M21,rosewood wheel,12 bolt,disc brakes,Chambered exhaust,tilt,and tinted glass. We swapped an LT1 in the car for the owner in 1970,he still has the car today.

Re: Scuncio Chevrolet
CRG site says M21 close ratio 4 speed only available in L34,Z28,L78,L89. Refers to M20 only in LM1.

It also says that you could only get M20 in a SS350 as well, and I thought there were recent documented SS350's with M21's? Correct me if I am wrong. I can almost swear that I had one (remember the black LM1 with the austin powers shag red carpet?) with the M21 in it several years ago, I remember becuase of the "short" first gear I thought it was a M22, but with the help some guys at camaros.net it was identified as a M21 (which I think the M22's were still limited to BB cars?). Not 100%, it was several years ago! Of course, I also never looked for a VIN stamp, so it could have been a service replacment or later add on. What is odd about the LM1's (from the CRG article) is that they got the smaller Z28 clutch instead of the SS350, and many of the LM1's have the 4 leaf springs (from my observations) although I have had two with 5 leaf springs) like many Z's. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Then of course, even though there was no badging, the LM1's got the SS350 style chrome Air Cleaner. Kurt, any clarification? Bob, do you remember anything about the LM1's from back in the day? Did the car that Joe race get ordered specifically for the LM1 options, or was that just chance? Rich |

Also, I am sure that the CRG would like the same info as well. Thanks for the pics, if you want, I can post them on my web server and link them here for everyone here to see. LMK, Rich |
