Vinyl roofs on race cars were something that Smokey Yunick tested on his 67 Camaro.
It went faster with Vinyl roof, Golf ball effect

I don't think Smokey was testing the Bernoulli effect....more like testing the Band-Aid effect of hiding body modifications with a vinyl top with padding. :naughty:

Ditto, what an amazing racer and character. Great research and information shared!

He was a lot of things, but the cars and their history were indeed spectacular. ... very consistent in the types of race cars he commissioned.

Notice on Heavy Challenger, first picture show 1971 tail lights, and the next 2 pictures shows a 73/74 grill style??

Carleen 08-30-2023 08:13 PM

Challenger started as 1970 model and ended up as a 1972 model
