About 12 yrs ago during a phone conversation Carl told me the story in detail on how he set out on the "B" Camaro project with the goal of beating the Hemis. After plenty of $$, hours, and energy, he met his goal and decided he had enough. Now that he's building what he set out to beat in the first place he's proven that true drag racers never quit...they only take vacations LOL!!!

This is one REALLY NICE PIECE!!! Can't wait to see him behind the wheel again!!!

Tim, Carl's way too old to drive that piece! He will soil his pants!

Jim 'Tree, the motor is a 383 - 343hp 2 carb unit. It will run SS/JA. Then comes the HEMI! Oh Baby! Jim

I heard a NC CHEBBY racer could be doing the motor.

When did the rules change to allow a 62 combo in a 64. GT yes but SS/JA, thats good news for me if it's true, Paul.

Here are some curreny pictures of Carl Weisingers Savoy.

Just drove it out of the shop for the first time.

Next is the doors, fenders hood and deck lid.

Paul & Jim ! For him to run the 2-4bbl, 383 he would have to run in SS/GT ! I Believe ............John

Beautiful car/nicely built-too bad it's an automatic

Jim Wahl · 03-14-2010, 10:08 PM

My mistake! It is a single four barrel 383. Sorry. But here's a scoop for ya.......I heard it's gunna be painted RED! Jim

Best Engineered, Best Appearing and why not enter a few car shows while you're at it? Still trying to find something that isn't painted or polished. I'd love to see this raced without lettering, graphics or decals.
