You can see the left front fender of the Z in this pic. That was the owner, who like I said was a motor head back in the day,..hemi powered Austin is bad ass.

This is a picture of the car after the 69 cowl hood was installed and he had it painted because of the hod, and he said the lower sides were getting chipped from all the sand on the roads. Not sure he was talking about in Tennessee where he was from, Connecticut where he was stationed, or the rides too and from the two states. This is why, until I got to speak to him, and got original pictures of it, I thought it might have been a stripe delete car. That's his young wife with the car, the little lady who drove it all the way to CT. for him when he couldn't wait and had to get back to base. Notice some type of traction bars under the rear end.

Those are the only pictures he had. I asked if he had any paperwork, build sheet, window sticker, POP, anything buried in a closet in a shoe box somewhere, but he said no. He never thought to keep stuff like that, but said he'd let me know if he found any.

I think the rally wheels were blue, not black. There are several examples of original rally wheel Camaros from this era that got body color wheels via special order. Cool car regardless and thanks for the pics and info. The black stripes were standard on LeMans blue cars with black vinyl tops. Without the vinyl top the stripes would have been white.

These are the earliest pics I have of when it was raced. You can see the only decals are the Bob Johnson Racing Enterprises stuff, Scuncio Chevrolet, and the engine builder. Check out the Grumpy lump style hood scoop that was either grafted onto the cowl induction hood, or maybe it was a fiberglass hood.

Yes, this is the car hauler the Z's 302 went in when the 6 cylinder blew up. Anyone reading this in CT know of an old Chevy ramp truck with a "V8" in it, do ya?

Here's the car a CT. Dragway...still with the same hood, but the sponsorship decals are multiplying. Wheels up at the tree. Looks like Cragars on the rear, Centerlines up front, and some "slapper" traction bars on the 12 bolt.

I have so many more photos but most are on a huge Photobucket account. I have had success posting these pics directly from my computer, but no luck linking any from Photobucket. This might take a while, but I might have to download each picture I want to post from Photobucket to my computer, then post them here. If anyone knows the secret so I don't have to do that, let me know.
