Yes. Well, IRP

Raced it there mostly, plus Edgewater in Cincy, Muncie and Bean Blossom.

Also prowled the streets around Steak and Shake/ TeePee and at Dog and Suds in Greenwood, now The Suds. Made a few bucks at midnight with this one.

Next one, hiding behind Dad's old school 71 4-speed small block Vette. Cira1978 (Mom did not like that car because she always burned her legs on the sidepipes)
Camaro was a 67 with 331" small block and Muncie 4 speed, and 12 bolt rear with 4.56:1 gears. Fast, Fast, Fast. Dad's new Cosworth twin cam Vega is behind the Camaro. (My Brother bought the Cosworth from Dad in the 80's and still has it, with 20K miles on it)

Same car, black paint with engine out. Sorry about the quality of my photos. I probably snuck this on my sister's Brownie camera.

My first Camaro Webby. A 1967 in 1975, before I got my license. It cost $250.
By now Dad's 66 Olds was fading and getting some rust.

I rebuilt the 327, the powerglide, the brakes, shocks, etc... AND painted it black, all before I was 16 and one month and one day. (Yes, I was looking forward to a drivers license)

The first night out in it solo, a 68 Chevelle challenged me at a stop light just north of Manual HS on the near south side of Indy. I revved it up in neutral to answer the call. Then I thought better about racing him. When the green came on he floored it and I just motored away nice and easy. All of a sudden lights were flashing all over the place and the cop who was behind me sped around and nailed the guy. I never knew he was back there due to the frosty cold rear window.
My life has been one big charm like that ever since

Here is a 68 SS/RS convertible I had a couple years ago while in Michigan. It was super loaded up also. In 68 they made very few with cruise, less than the prior year for some reason, so this was 1 of 327 so equipped.

Engine was a 295 hp 350 with console shift automatic.

I sold it on ebay to Arizona. Car was originally Rallye Green with white stripes. I hope the restoration has put it back that way. I tracked down the original lady owner who was thrilled to hear the car was still doing well and loved to talk about it. Her kids were in hs when she had the car in 68-9 and they used it in the homecomming parades for the girls.

The previous owner just welded those on. It's a pretty crappy job, they're really uneven as you see here
No performance mod, they just add noise Which I'm fine with



You can fix that pretty easy with PhotoShop.
