Could it be "related" to the two cars,Brooklyn Heavy and London Heavy ? They were shipped to this side of the pond.

I do believe that 2 of Heavys Mopars went to England or in that area.

The whiskey King Bell´s son brought both cars to England, but Brooklyn Heavy was later shipped to Sweden.
I believe I found the picture in www.race68.com

Anybody else think the way that Camaro sits is awesome. Those rear rims and tires are really stuffed in there. Looks sinister! I wish that picture was color.

I will have to read that article. It probably still has a 12 bolt in it.

Granted there is a lot of room in the rear wells of a second gen Camaro, do you think he is running a Ford 9 inch/Dana 60 or even shortened GM housing in that the Camaro?
