I didn't see a picture section so I figured this was as good a place as any. This is my pride and joy. I used to street race and drag race this car all the time. It is a numbers matching 70 SS 396 L-78 Camaro. I bought the car when I was 19, back in 1985. This car is a blast to drive on the street and yes, I did compete with the original motor still in the car today.
This was the next racer. I picked up this 79Z as an unfinished project and built it similar to the green 70. The motor is just a 402 with 12 to 1, solid cam and rec port heads. The trans is a Muncie M-22 Supercase 4 speed with a 9 inch rear and 5.00 gears.
I finished the 79Z just as the 2005 season was coming to an end. I am hoping to run 12.00's this season competing in a local heads up class.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
