Does the "Midwest Auto Parts" drag Camaro still exist? And was it a L78 car?

Thanks to Mike for getting the info to me as well!

I'm thinking about burnouts with slicks! We'll see.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Lance Hill, thanks for chiming in. I'll pass your comments on to Sherman. A special thanks to Sherman Gerlach for having the forsight to save the original drivetrain and save the car for 39 years! I am more than proud to be the new caretaker. Chris

If you are referring to Dick Arons' 1967 Maroon coupe that Dick won the 67 Super Stock Nationals with and runner-upped to Ed Miller's Hemi car in the famous $10,000 World Finals race in 67, it was an L35 with Turbo 400 trans but I can't remember if it started out that way or not. Don't know whatever happened to it, but hope it has survived as it is one truly historic Camaro. Dickie works at Dart with Maskin so anybody could call there and ask him. If you do, say hello for me.

Actually I was refering to the white 67 big block ragtop. Somewhere on this site there is a photo of it going up against "The Old Reliable" 68 Z. Really cool picture. The history on these first gen Camaro drag cars is all new to me and really quite interesting. From day one purchase at the dealership to race car, to retirement, destruction, or restoration they all have a story. Fascinating stuff.
