"Hog Wild" '69 Z-28 Super Stock Car.

[MailOrderMotion]

Any chance anybody remembers this car ? It was raced from 1970 through the mid '80s by Gary Smiley, a farmer who raised hogs from the Red Oak Iowa area. Based in Division 5, but raced all around the nation. It is known to have run at the Spring Nationals, Winter Nationals, Gator Nationals and at Englishtown when not running in the Midwest. It's home tracks were in the Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska area. The picture with the name is the only shot I have of it actually racing. The back half was just completed and the new shoes hadn't been delivered yet. The second shot was just after pulling it out of 20+ years of storage in 2011. The car was street raced until about 1975 when it became a full time race car. The 302 was replaced by a crate L-88 in the '70s and that's how it was found. It has worn the snorkel hood shown, a GM steel ZL-2 and 2 Glass Moroso hoods, a Zl-2 and a Pro Stock style. This X-77 car is not only a ZL-2, D80 and Tach car, but also Special Paint. It was sold new at Rosen Novak Chevrolet in Omaha Nebraska. I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers it.
Thanks,
Dave
