Re: HUCKLEBERRY HOUND
I remember Huckleberry Hound quite well. This 1969 Camaro SS was bought at Wallace Chevrolet in Linden, NJ. In fact, 2 cars were purchased at the same time - a 1969 Nova SS (396) and the subject car. The original owners were Frankie Johansson and Andy Zimmerman. I had an interest in the car but my primary interest was the cousin Nova. By the way, both were all black when new. Rogers Speed shop in Garwood, NJ did most of the engine work - at lesast provided the facilities, and Andy was the brains behind the actuall mechanics. Andy died in the mid to late 1970's and Frankie is somewhere. He was a professional painter (offices, etc.) and probably inhaled too many fumes.
The Nova ran Pure Stock - B auto and consistantly ran in the low 12's. The Camaro ran in B SS Auto and, when right, ran below the class record.
