Frank seeing as you have alot of old fotage laying around , might you have anything of this car in one of its fazes. Its dads old Camaro that he ran back in the 70's. First it was Orange then white and orange , then finally Green , was Green when he sold it to a guy in Tinley Park back in 78. Wish he never got rid of it.

Brian, I like the bottom pic with the S&H green stamp sign in the backround. I bought my first shotgun with 9+!/2 books of green stamps back when I was 7 years okd. Still got it too.
What was the name on the camaro? I'll see if my brother has any pics. 25 years ago when I gave up my camaro for a jet boat, my brother bought the camaro body, I kept the engine for the boat, and gave him all my photo albums from back into the 60's. He's still got all the pics.

Their really wasn't a name for the car , He ran for King Speed shop. Thats the white and orange paint job. Everyone called him the Kings Evil if I recall correct , He was kind of like thier hit man. Supposedly one of the guys from back in the day has a museum of stuff from 30 in his basemant but I have yet to confirm it. I do have a polyester starters jacket from there in my closet.

Don't let the "looks" fool ya.

I still remember that pass at US 30. The tranny would'nt shift into high gear, so Merle ran it through in second. Still clicked off a mid 9 second pass.
