Jungle Jim's 1969 ZL-1 Camaro
Pix found on eBay. TOO COOL! Driven by speed shop owner Steve Kanuika. Photos taken at Cecil County Drag-O-Way sometime in 1969. Strip of paper placed across the photo
sucks but heck, it's better than no pix at all, right? Check out the red interior! Original red car/red interior? Anyone know of this car's whereabouts? All I know is that the car was sold to the Collins & Hickman racing team from Maryland or Delaware. They retained the same paint scheme sans Jungle Jim name on the door and raced it in Pro Stock during the 1970-71 season.

Cool old pics. Too bad no jungle Pam pics! Could not have been too many red/red ZL-1's. Somebody has to know what happened to it.

Re: Jungle Jim's 1969 ZL-1 Camaro
Steve Kanuika, now there's a name out of the past. He had probably one of the last speed shops here in Dover Delaware sometime around the late 70's to early 80's. Really cool dude. Use to see him every once in a while on the odd Saturday in the store.

Re: Jungle Jim's 1969 ZL-1 Camaro
Wonder what ever became of that red/red Craigslist drag car we all looked at last year here? Most of those same eBay pics are shown undefaced in the thread too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...opics/517391/1 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete

Re: Jungle Jim's 1969 ZL-1 Camaro
I find it interesting that Jungle Jim's car has the short water pump and LH alternator arrangement. Is that the norm on ZL1's?

Re: Jungle Jim's 1969 ZL-1 Camaro
What is that radiator with the original tower clamps, a single core straight neck??? Looks hugger orange to me, garnet red is much darker.

The only ZL1 with a 718 interior was #62; was not Jungle Jims car.

drag racers are all about weight, especially in front of the wheels - probably a weight saving move (legal?)
