CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Hi all. I've just noticed a lot of the other subjects have been getting alot of posts but the Dealer Specific topics haven't been getting a lot of posts lately. I'd be interested in seeing some pics and hearing some stories [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Dig 'em out and start typing. I'm sure I'm not the only interested one on this subject.

any idea if all the DANA Camaros got the hood pins installed??

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Can't answer that Jeff on the steel hoods--This particular car, same car in your article, was built by Dana for the Bardahl Oil Co.as a combined show and test car for its various automotive products--it was loaded with extras--It was also equipped with the '66 version of the 427---I'll try to get the article posted later---

Cool pics and info... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

While on the subject of Dana cars, at SCR8 we would like to have some sort of Dana display. We have a Dana Nova penciled in, and a couple of other maybes. If you have a Dana car, and/or know someone who does, we would love to have it at SCR8. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Another to-die-for photo. Cragar G/T's with whitewalls! Note that by this time the car had the trick fiberglass hood with 427 emblems toward the rear. I think this was the Hot Rod road test?

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

I think the Dana and Bill Thomas cars are underated...not enough ink. Troy (RAT PACK) has a very nice Bill Thomas prepped 68 camaro. Maybe he will let us in on some of that early Dana Chevy and Bill Thomas west coast muscle! I guess D.H. was involved also. Come on Troy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Your right--they are hard to get info/pics on---
Here's a close-up of the SW oil/temp gauges of the car in the article Jeff posted---looks like they made a compartment for the gauges--very neat--- https://www.yenko.net/attachments/120689-gauges.jpg

Anyone have a idea on where this car is today!!!

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Holy Xmas Joe.! I was never aware of the DANA/Dale connection. Today Dale owns perhaps the rarest '61 409 car ever made.
Neat Pics!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

What 61 Verne ??? I think 61's are awsum...wish i still had mine...

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

you should've never sold that car...

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Bob had a '61?

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Bob,
I believe Dale just might own the very first '61 Super Sport (with original 409). It's a long story, but I worked with Dale on it many years ago before he bought it, to get it properly documented. It's got a special GM installed ID tag on top of the cowl in addition to the regular cowl tag. It's one of those one-off exec cars (like the Estes car). It has A/C, which was never offered on a production 409 (until '63). It's the "real deal".
Dale is a great guy too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

You shouldn't have sold that car.................... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

OK Dale...time to tell us more and send me pics and the story so I can Feature this car ! If I can stop drooling. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Looks like the famous Dana Camaro hood was made by Berry Plasti-Glass Co.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Here is a pic of one on the cover of a 1969 issue of Hi-Perf. CARS magazine. Doesn't say anything about this car being from Dana (has the hood) and the only real identifying features of this Camaro is the claim on the grill of it being the "Worlds Fastest 327 Camaro" and it has Joe "something"?? lettered on the rear quarter panel. There are no other pics of the car in the magazine.. (no article either). Anyone know the car? I wonder how popular that hood was back then?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Seems more than just "Dana" cars ended up with that hood.

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Looks like a set of dual quads sticking out of the hood with a ram air box, and hoses. A C/Gasser would be running dual quads or injection.

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

I believe that is Joe Sherman's Camaro. The car was a very early SS350 car with radio and heater delete. Was bought new through Washburn Chevrolet in Santa Barbara and prepped by Bob Joehnck. Back in '67 it had "World's Fastest 350" in the grille area. I think it ran a lot of AHRA events but probably NHRA too. Joehnck printed a magazine on the preparation of the car. It is pretty cool. I have heard that Joe Sherman located the car several years ago and got it back but I don't know if that's a fact or not. The entire front end was fiberglass when prepared in '67. I forget what company did it but they used the sheetmetal off this car as the basis for the fenders, hood, etc that they ended up molding.

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Sounds like good info. Would be great if Joe did find the car again. Thanks!

I have seen this picture over the years but would like to know what publication it's from. From the Dana Chevrolet Hi-Performance brochure...?

Still searching the history of the picture. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

Thanks for the link. Does anyone have pictures from the Hot Rod article? Does anyone know if the picture that I posted of the DANA hood above was from the same article or from a different publication?

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

If you know which HRM issue it was in, I probably have it. I have the one with the red 350SS car. Actually, I think it was a series. #III was the one with the famous color photo with the parachute after a 396 was installed.

Re: CALLING ALL DANA & OTHER DEALER PICS & STORIES!!
 

The HRM article does mention the hood from Berry Plasti-Glass. I would still like to know where the DANA hood picture noted above was originally published. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

No idea where the ad was originally published but sure love the Dana hoods!
