1970 History Delivered by sYc! I'm joining tonight

ss427copo · #1 10-05-2005, 05:10 AM

So , many of the active members have read my recent posts (and even older ones!) and lo and behold, a member named "Bwag" sends me an email that states....

"In 1992 I was divorced and a shoebox full of my car, motorcycle and racing pictures disappeared. This summer my oldest daughter found the stash of pics at my ex's home and gave them to me. The yellow car was in some of the pics. Bob" Talk about making my day! He did post a couple of them in that post about "971 Day-2 Camaro"...but this one...I jumped thru the ceiling!

I'm joining the sYc group NOW....Where do I send my money? (Besides to bob, who so graciously shared the pics)

Too cool...looks like a big car in the other lane !! Better get out the spray gun and get that old paint scheme on it !!

That's very cool. Wouldn't you have been disappointed if bwag didn't share that information he had? Maybe now since your so happy with the site we will learn more about your car?

Nice score!

Now...you got me thinking!!!!! Ya really think I should change it?

Interesting...looks like an SS emblem on the grill, but the "SS/DA" designation was where the L72s played...doesn't prove/disprove anything, just observations...

Very cool pictures. Are there any dates on the pictures? Is that an early short spoiler on the rear of the car, it looks a little odd.

Darren, My soul is open to you. What more can I tell you that wasn't shared a year ago in the link that was posted?
(not said sarcastically ) I posted the trim tag yesterday.
All I know is whAT i KNOW. Dick Arons did the motor for bob Schmidt Chevrolet in 69....So, as a 19437, who knows what engine came in it in 1969. I know it ran in the mid 11's with the time slips the seller gave me in 1984. I know I went 11.4 at Atco in 1990 with it on the M+H's that came with the car. I' know it's one bad ass car that you hear 1/2 of a mile before you see it! Please, come to NJ and we'll go over it. I'm sure, like BWAG, I'll learn something new!
Your pal, Jeff

Great vintage pictures, Jeff....do it up like it was...You already have your "stock 427"

Ok so it sounds like you have no idea what the car was originally. Not an ounce of anything wrong with that. It's a very cool car. Have you ever contacted anyone associated with Bob Schmidt to get more history?

That picture blown up would be perfect for duplicating all the markings.

Belair62 · #10 10-05-2005, 05:55 AM

Don't you think it would be cool i it's racing colors ?? I do...

Tough call...I guess now that you have the pics you can have hours of conversation with them !
