Super Stock SS/C SS/D vintage racer

[Yellow 69 z28]

After a few detours and distractions I am finally starting the complete restoration of my Super Stock vintage racer project. The paint will be a B@*ht to duplicate. A few museums in Nebraska have shown some interest in its completion and return to the "West Central Division"

See my link to the first of a series of videos documenting the cars progress. Thanks TJ for all your help with the production and publication of the video it turned out fantastic.

Wow,awsome car. I was watching the video and was about to haul off on you for wanting to repaint it until I saw the passenger side. the outstanding condition of the rest of the car makes it all worthwhile though. If you are in New Jersey,I know the perfect place to reproduce that paint job. They were in Jersey City back in the day,and painted a ton of the super high end prostock and modified production cars with all the fish scales and lace paint,they moved to PA a few years ago. Both the father who did the paint work originally and the son handle the work,and if you want a shop that does this kind of work every day and wins awards everywhere they go,you should call them. They are also very reasonably priced, and dont do any bread and butter type work,its only custom one of a kind race cars for them. The shop was formerly known as G&K customs in Jersey City,but now goes by the name of Korek Designs. (thats the K in G&K) If you find a lot of old literature from back in the day you will find that many of the really decked out prostocks and modifieds from this area in the 70's were done by them.

This isnt a plug for a buddy's shop,this is real advice about a shop that did the award winning cars from back in the day who is still doing both modern and retro cars.

Good luck with it,and keep us posted.

Awesome car Rich. I just learned the history of your car while trying to track down the block from my 70 ls6. I live just outside of Omaha, Ne where you purchased the car back in 02. From the history I have, I was told the block to my ls6 went into the R D Shaker back in the 70's. I recently just uncovered this ls6 car about a month ago after it had been stored away for about 25 years. Could you please call Steve at 402-968-3287 with any info. Thanyou very much.

Triple that...awesome car... and what you are planning on for restoration to its glorious racing days heritage. Mac Chevrolet from Crete was known for some COPO and the one and only one ZL1 sold in Nebraska through that dealership. I have collected a few Nebraska raced cars and this is definitely one of the "holy grail" drag cars raced from this area. Can't wait to see the finished pics when your done!

I love vintage racers, drag or T/A... Awesome Awesome Awesome... I can say no more!

[firstgenaddict]

I knew I had something else to say... lol
I think this is your car, I have had these photos for quite a few years. The paint is SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT on the front fenders as far as I can tell...

I have no idea how I arrived with them other than the internet...

After finally getting in touch with Rich about a year ago, he led me to the current owners of my LS6 motor. Then after nine months of negotiations I finally went out to Maine and picked the motor up this past April. The motor is back in the engine bay and we are trying to stock pile some parts so we can get ready for the frame off.
