SUPER JOHN's 1969 Harrell Camaro
Anyone know about his car from 1969!
It was the car in the 1/4 Million 1/4 mile race. I posted that another site claimed it was "an 'original' COPO' All-Aluminum 427 that ran NHRA SS/C." So was it a COPO or not? Is it around today??

I'm no drag racing historian but vintage photos of production ZL-1 Camaros show they were raced in SS/B.

Carleen, your post is what got me thinking about this. I believe you say you have one of Brooklyn's '69's. BUT I do think he had a few from what I have read. Just wondering if anyone knows where it went or what is was?
What make you think this yours is the old Super John car? Yours being an RS front end car, and Super John wasn't?

From what I read on the Super John Camaro, it was built from a body in white shell that DH got from Chevy. His 1967 Funny car was also built from a body in white.
The Super John Camaro was built as a light weight Camaro with gutted front end , fiberglass nose, no front brakes, used a drag chute, 2x4BB Tunnel Ram. They ran in AHRA SS/E or match race trim. The AHRA SS/E (not the same as NHRA SS/E) cars and match race cars were very fast and popular and became Pro Stock in 1970. From what I can tell, DH set up the Super John Camaro and ZL-1 #1 , #15 , and #29 as light weight SS/E or match race Camaros. DH may have built others because these were popular match race money makers. The ZL-1s that ran in NHRA were set up different.
