That is an interesting piece of the cars past, but I'm rather certain the snorkel is hand made and welded on.
It's still cool that someone made this to help get cooler air to the engine.

Yes it's a modified '66 Chevelle 396 L34 or L35 standard air cleaner. Bruce modified it himself to create his own plenum air cleaner setup.

I enjoy seeing things like this air cleaner. It shows how the average racer back in the day came up with ideas how to make his car just a little better than it was the weekend before.
Keep up the good work on your 4K Jose, I’m watching.

Here is a copy of the original sales paperwork provided by Bruce. Bentley suggested the salesman signature was "McCandlish" so after some research I found Max Edward McCandlish who worked at Bobb Chevrolet as a salesman.
He was also about the same age as Bruce at the time (mid 20's). Unfortunately he passed away in 2012 but I was able to make contact with this son today Matt who confirmed 100% the writing and signature belonged to his father. Max Edward McCandlish was the mastermind behind who custom ordered this car and reluctantly sold it to Bruce Cremean. Matt had some great information about his father, Bobb Chevrolet, the Camaro Club, drag racing and more. He also says they may have photos. Ron Perry (another salesman) once said in a facebook post that Bobb Chevrolet was a great place to work and I believe it! Last edited by jbtech; 12-06-2022 at 09:18 PM.

Huge thank you to George Andrews Jr. and Todd Cremean for reuniting this air cleaner back to the car after many decades! Bruce brazed it together to make his own plenum air cleaner.

Immediately following the purchase of the 1967 Camaro L78, Bruce buys a used '55 panel truck as his tow rig. He also buys a set of slicks.

Paid almost as much for the slicks as he did for the "Panel Truck", which was not what I was expecting to see when I scrolled down lol, actually a cool "Sedan Delivery"!!
This is a great thread! - Bill W
