Agreed. Seeing these photos brings back a flood of memories and all of them good! Those John Johnson photos are amazingly sharp.

Thank you, Pete. I'm just going through my massive collection of automotive photos I've collected from Usenet (remember the newsgroups?), Yahoo! groups, forums, web sites, etc. these past 20 years.

Lots more--and I mean lots more--really cool photos I haven't seen in years and most likely neither have others. It's time to share! Lol.

Stay tuned...

Pete

This Camaro looks like the ex-Shay Nichols Pro Stocker. If this is the car, it began life as an original ZL-1 Camaro.

That's Shay in the pic, compare to this below article including ZL1 reference as posted last year in the old newspaper thread.
Again, fantastic pics and keep 'em coming!

As late as the '90s, what remained of ZL-1 #5 was still around as a tube-frame race car. Original block was still with it. Maybe someone knows the car.

Both Jungle Jim's and Bill Jenkins '69 Pro cars had ZL-1 engines but were not part of the production run.

That very well could be the case with Shay's Camaro.
