13. A 68 coupe and 67 ragtop head to head. Again unknown track and am not sure of the names on the cars.



Looks like the "Old Reliable" Z and the Midwest Auto Parts Camaro...

How did you get a Petersen pic? The mags are pretty serious about their property so I'd keep that one on the d-l...seriously!

This Strickler "Old Reliable" and Dick Arons 67 Camaro photo was taken at the 1968 NHRA World Finals in Tulsa, OK on Oct 20, 1968. This was the semi final round in Super Stock eliminator. Strickler went on to beat his team mate, Bill Jenkins in the final round for the World Championship title.

Didn't he beat Ed Hedrick in Grumps 1968 SS/D nova?

[Jerry@CHP]

No, Hedrick was driving the Camaro. Jenkins drove the Nova that year in Super Stock.

Hey Jerry what do Ineed to do to put my Z on your reg?? Kim

[Jerry@CHP]

Kim,

What year Z28? I only run the registry on the 67 cars. Have been doing so now for 20 years. We have just about 200 cars now. 1/3 of the population. Larry Eakin does the 68 Z28s.

Here's a never before published photo of 'da Grump. This was taken at the GM Desert Proving Ground. Near as I can tell, it was some sort of engineering review, with a staged &quot;parallel performance comparison&quot;, as we liked to call them.

I happened to see it hanging in the lobby of the administration building as I passed through one day. I asked the DPG photographer for a copy and she was kind enough to make two originals from the negative for me.
