Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Only 12, you're slacking off. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I'm not actually doing any of the work on my car so I was out at a hockey game last night, eh.

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Dad and I looked over the picture again, and noticed some interesting things. That appears to be our '68 funny car on the back of a brand new '68 1-ton truck, we are stumped on the "Paddy Wagon" thing, but we are curious about the CAR that is pulling the trailer hauling "Little Hoss"...any ideas what it might be? Ken?

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Ken; Neat picture of the Gibb/Harrell caravan. I have numerous photos of the '68 flip top car, both with and without the black top, but was not for sure which paint scheme was first. With that photo dated Feb, 1968, I would say that the car started out all red, then red with black top and last of course, the tri-color burgundy. Now, if I can just decide which paint scheme to use. I had thought red w/black top, but the car looks pretty sharp all red.

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

69SS396,
The ZL1 #1 pic is here on page 7 of this thread.


Rob and Tom,
I too was thinking the vinyl roof car is towing Little Hoss. Does the roof line and ventipane look like this car?


ORIGLS6,

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

The car parked in front of the trailer. Could it be that it is not hooked to the trailer, but instead just parked there. It kind of looks like the top of the '67 injected race car?

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Tom,

I have a poor quality copy of a pic of the car back of the car hauling Little Hoss, it appears to be an Impala coupe. It is from Helen and labled "California bound".

In the pic with your car, the angle of the pic looks like the car in front of the trailer is too close to be attached to the trailer though. Maybe it is the 67 funny.

Tom,

I agree, all red is very attractive, however, from an historical perspective, wouldn't 3 red/black cars look awesome together? With Joes car, make that 4.

ORIGLS6, any more conclusive pics from that trip?

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Ken,
Nothing at the moment. That's subject to change though.

Attached is a picture of a 1967 Z28 when it was new. Although the car looks black in the picture, it is actually Tahoe Turquoise. It was one of five '67 Z28s sold through Washburn Chevrolet in Santa Barbara, CA. I used to own the car in the early '80s and sold it to a friend who sat on it for the better part of two decades. Now it has been sold back to the original owner and he is doing a complete restoration on it. It's pretty neat when an original owner can get his old car back.

WOW! What a historical Pic! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Going back to the first pics posted in this thread...
Frank M (hvychev) look what I found for you in Valparaiso today.

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Well... not really.
The current owner told me that he bought this car many years ago with the impression that it was the same one in the pic you posted that Frank Sr. took. The car in your pic later became the first "WE HAUL". Unfortunately, it is believed that car flipped during a run in the early seventies at a track in Ohio killing the driver. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif
Joe Satmary, did however, install the engine in this car and raced it for a short period before he left us several years ago.
Seltzer however, is still with us and actively racing in Northwest Indiana a '65 Chevy II that should by now be in the 9s.

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Frank, this would make a good tow vehicle for the Deuce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Chris
what was the Swapmeet & Car Corral area like this year?
I forgot that show was this weekend! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Thanks Chris! Haven't heard from you in a while. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

This is for those that never saw the pic. It is missing from the first page. See attachment. Dad took the pic in July 1969. Note the ZL-1 lettering on the front fender.

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Rick,
You didn't miss anything at the auction, corral or show and the swap was pitiful. Good thing it was only a couple miles from home and the weather nice.

Re: Vintage Camaro Pics
 

Reliving my glory days, and came upon this forum. In late '68, I was living in Hammond, In., and building a 66 Chevelle/w 427 BB, and needed a set of headers.

I went to VanSenus auto parts as I had been there quite regularly for speed parts.

I met Fred VanSenus!

He was great to me, discounted many parts knowing I was young and poor. In this case, he said he had a friend who had lots of sets of headers that he tried for a short time, and would probably make me a good deal, plus, this friend could use extra bucks.

I called the guy, and he gave me directions to a back-alley garage in Hammond (I believe) so I proceeded post haste.

There I met Mr. Satmary, who was working on a brand new camaro frame. We exchanged handshakes, and he proceeded to show me about 12-15 sets of BB headers, and let me have my pick for $40.00

I put them in the trunk, and stayed a while. He explained he had just picked up this plain-Jane Camaro from Blaskovich(sp)Chevrolet. He had stripped it completely, and was returning the engine(6 cyl), trans, running gears, upolstery, frame sections, and everything except the body, deck lid, and doghouse.

As I remember, he was drilling plugs from a square channel frame that was made for this body. I asked why drill a new frame, and he said to lighten it!

I hung around a while longer, and seeing he was tiring of the questions, I started to leave. He said I could come back any time, and I did return a few times, but he was always busy working it seemed.

Shortly after, I moved back to Shelbyville and finished the Chevelle with his headers. I thought of him lots as I grew up.

A real racing legend and good guy.
