It’s funny how they just plop the hood on top of the roof not knowing that that car would be so valuable.

I think neither. Looks to be a production standard hood that had a fiberglass stinger glassed in; then the tunnel-ram scoop added later.

the picture with the 2 kids and the SS/E car has Bernard Butler's name on the fender

The 1969 Z/28's ran in SS/E

This car may be a Z/28 or built up as one

this looks like the picture used on the COPO Connection book


The caption calls it an AHRA Super Stock match basher

it may have been a running as a Match Racer where they had little rules and big cube engines with duel quad tunnel rams

This racing was very fast and very popular in 1969 and lead to the NHRA Pro Stock class in 1970

Not sure; I haven’t seen it, but it’s definitely that car.

I think SS/E would be a 396/375hp. But he probably changed classes for AHRA and NHRA tracks.

they classified the cars by weight/horsepower so the car can go up or down a class depending on the weight and the NHRA-factored horsepower changed over the years so you will see them running in different classes

looking at old pictures for examples ,

the 1967 Jenkin's L78 Camaro ran in SS/C

the Strickler 1968 Z/28 ran in SS/E or SS/F

The guy I bought my number 34 ZL1 from swore he knows where this car is 'hiding'....

it's been many years now though... he also mentioned that the original motor to the car was still around.
