is that a 4in cowl hood on Adam's car? I know the cowl hood on a 68 Camaro is a touchy subject around there but I seen 2 302 Z28 cars come through Barret-Jackson with a factory cowl so we know they do exist.

In reference to Mike Adams & my cowl hoods in the picture. Camaro Top Stocker's were permitted to use a fiberglass cowl hood. Mike's was a 4", and was only used for this race. At Rockingham in 2001, (the next Top Stock event) Mike was running the more commonly used cowl hood.

Lots of stuff comes through Barrett-Jackson that was never OEM. They are in the business of making money off people's fantasies, not historical correctness. I have a copy of a document from GM that shows the first order for cowl induction hood stampings was issued 8/12/68, almost a month and a half after the end of the 1968 production year. Yeah, they exist, but they didn't come off the assembly line that way.

Great Camaro

Here is dad's (Curtis Smith) 1967 "Hot Stuff" Camaro. This is the car that he won the 1996 IHRA Stock World Championship with.

Also, Here is Grandpa's (Earl Smith) 1969 "Shakedown" Camaro. Dad won the 1984 NHRA Summernationals with this car.

We still have both, and still race both.
