Day 2 Image Request
 

Hello,

Wes here with CarTech Books. We're currently seeking a potential cover image candidate for ur upcoming book on Day 2 Muscle Cars. If you have a cover-worthy candidate please post in this thread.

Thanks!

Wes

My 1969 Camaro SS 396. X66 Car. Thanks Rob

Wes,

In no particular order...If I were to nominate a few cars from this venue, they would of course include Grady's Day II Copo Camaro as featured here on sYc.

https://www.yenko.net/forum/attachme...1&d=1588183244

Another choice would be a street driven car owned by Vince McAdam who is also a member of the site and has this beautiful Day II Camaro SS that I simply drool over.

My final choice would be for Sam Griffith's Day II 69 Chevelle which is the best looking Chevelle I think have ever seen (in Black of course).

https://www.yenko.net/forum/attachme...1&d=1541291745

These would all make a worthy candidate for a cover car in my humble opinion. Can't wait to see what you put out on the Day II subject and will be watching.

Graeme

Of course...Rob's X66 car would be another heavy hitter to be considered. One look at it with those Cragar's and the Lakewood Bar state it all right there.

Nova
 

Norcam such a humble guy.. your Nova hands down

Here's mine I've owned it for 31 years!

Those are some incredible cars. If we’re talking cover photo material, it takes some serious day-two “commitments” to earn that honor. My vote (not that it counts), goes toward a car with a day-two paint scheme or a serious diamond tuck interior in addition to the usual bolt-on items like wheels and ladder bars. Graeme’s old day-two Nova is quite the example.

There’s something to be said about day-two authenticity. This 300 Deluxe Post Sedan SS received a very stout 427 along with the L88 style hood and numerous other performance modifications by the original owner in the early 70’s. Even the tires are still the originals that he put on these torq thrusts back when the car was new.

69 L78 4 speed. True day2 car

One of the best "day 2" stories ever.

This one gets my vote...... but what about your L89 car?

Ryan W31

Thanks Helmut / ssl78396

I liked it better with the Cragar's which were true to its original street days of the '70s and '80s in Cleveland (seen in this first photo from 1973). The second picture is how it looked last year when I freshened the car with the tow tabs and the Lakewood roll bar added. Paint is still the original scheme from the early '70s painted by Ron Badiu in Cleveland. It was a bad assed streetcar back in its day but still holds true to that too!

I hope you like this one! Its a number matching car.

Thanks Ryan! Technically, the L89 modifications were done at the dealership. Other than the wheels, tires and stance... the performance mods aren’t noticeable until you pop the hood... or until you drive it ;-)

Go the extra mile and find a pic taken back in the day for the cover, not a new digital photo of a restored Day 2 car. That's just my 2 cents...this one showed up tonight on the 70s MuscleCars facebook page

1969 Anderson Nova SS 427

1968 z

This thing has been like this since shortly after it was purchased in '67

Man I love this Nova!

Day 2 after a Day 1
 

I drove it for one year on the street in it’s SS/DA ‘War Paint’ scheme in 1984. Heads spun and thumbs up were plentiful. Then I got stupid and had the paint stripped down to bare metal. Sometimes I regret having done that even though the 35 year old paint still looks new thanks to Mike White of Media, Pa.

Love this car!:biggthumpup:

427

Both the yellow and green 69's are amazing.

My 80's ride.

A few days or week after receiving from being ordered by my father. And still have it.

There are some amazing day 2 cars in this thread, but if I had to pick just one, it'd be Grady's IMO.

https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...=140219&page=9

The cool thing about the Grady COPO is he was driven to only use period date correct pieces on his build, right down to the roll control switch.
Lots of great cars to chose from, I would hate to have to make this decision.

Mike

My Mustang back in the day (1975) and today. More like year 10

Follow-up on Yellow Car
 

I figured I would include some photo attributes from my Day 2 ‘69L89/427. Hope you guys like these pics. All of them have been on the car since 1970.

The Tarantula manifold and heat shield.
Un-rebuilt Hurst Line-Lok
Stahl gear-driven tach...(yes, that is a red tell-tale saying where the R’s left off)
B+M reverse valve body shifter with radio delete (who needed a radio?)
Original traction bars with 4 degree wedges and
Aluminum gear cover.

Man I would like to hear that baby at 7500!

It has a Booth-Arons 427 in it too. (Freshened, but all there) Man, you can hear the .680 cam from and rumble blocks away. Will definitely take you back To when your “cup-holder” wore a mini-skirt!

Images how to post?
 

I have some images I would like to post.....can you help?

Jeff,

Does that have a fuel pressure gauge on your cowl vent? Love the Tarantula manifold!!!

Fuel pressure gauge
 

Yes, it does. Been there forever! (New gauge 20 years ago, same location) This is 1984, when I bought it.

Another of the fuel gauge....

A REAL Day 2 rear end....
 

I stripped the paint 10 years ago. Originally a BE rear, but the original owner, here on YENKO, BWAG, told me the story how the original came out and the replacement BX went in.

What a great car!! How old is the kid in the picture now? The fuel gauge pictures are the

best!!!

Thanks for the trip down DAY 2 lane.
