Bruce thanks for the pics!

The car has been restored to look like back in the Super Stock days. Notice that the car was also sponsored by Vitar Engineering. I will have some as is today pics soon.

This is another race car that was not cut up very much (for a race car that is) It has what appears to be original sheet metal, floor pans, mini tubs and most of the trunk and extensions. Many of these cars had the cowls cut out and were back halved latter in life, but not this one.

Trim tag and vin as well as all secondary Vins have never been messed with.

This Car did battle with some of the most Famous and significant Super Stockers of all time, such as Grumpy Jenkins and Sox & Martin and Carried the Chevrolet Banner very prominently and successfully.

On the back of the Spoiler was written "Chevy against the World".

If anyone has pics of this car in action I would greatly appeciate a copy.

Cool pic of the "Soul Survivor". I was told that this too was originally a factory L89 Camaro?

No Matter what they say about you, your still the best Auction Block Driver in the business. For Arizona remember the race cars are reverse shift pattern and no Wheelies in the parking lot.

Thanks!
