Tommy Johnson sr.
 

Anybody remember Tommy racing a green 1968 camaro? Does anyone have pictures of this car??

What year would that have been? I was at his garage in the mid 70's in Fort Madison when he was selling speed parts out of it. A green Camaro seems right, but it might just be the power of suggestion.....

Dave, Tommy had the 68 before the 69 had to be around 1968 here is a pic of the 69

Re: Tommy Johnson sr.
 

The 69 he bought new, that's why I think it was in 68 or early 69 he would had that car.

Re: Tommy Johnson sr.
 

Wow, great photo. I didn't know Dale Love Chevrolet sponsored him. My folks bought a 66 Impala from Dale Love.......

Re: Tommy Johnson sr.
 

The 69 was a 375HP car it's still around. I think I know where the 68 is.

Old thread but here's a couple pics that belong here.

Back in 69 Tommy bought my 67 ss350 (turq color) to setup for racing. Heard later he dropped a 427 in it but never saw it again.

That 68 pictured here, his wife put it on its top I think. I know she put one on its top in a powder puff race about that time.

He worked at the Goodyear tire shop in Burlington for awhile in 69 and then went on to work at the Fort Madison Chev dealer for a time too. Tommy had racing in his blood big time, him and Herb Fox used to go at it over who could drive better. The good old days......

I forgot about this car. The one I know of was glass nosed ,kinda panel painted .

I lived in Burlington from 68 to 72

bought a set of narrow cragers in to Goodyear in Burlington. Tommy mounted the tires .

Tommy has a vary nice blue Pro Street 69 Camaro now.
