Default Re: Brooklyn Heavies Article with a DH 70 Camaro

The Camaro on the hauler came from Motion. Joel deliverd it to Heavy after the NY auto show in 69. I still speak with Heavy on a fairly regular basis and while he ran into some tax trouble is a great guy. His stories are priceless.
I am the guy who bought one of the haulers that came from Dick's shop. Heavey considered this car one of his favorite cars along with the Duster that went over seas. It saw a bit of street use before it was converted for the track.
Rumor has it it was left chained to a pole in NY and was striped then rusted away till the shop was sold and it was scraped. As for the 70 in question again rumor has it it went up north and was never seen again.
This is a great pic of the car and big sleeper truck.
Heavy's nick name was Junior and his brother was Lonie hence the J&L... There were dozens of cars in his camp including a Jenkins 68 rs that is believed to still be out there.
Love the Pic and I will Try to get a copy for Heavy..

Thanks
Brian
