I would say yes.
Did anybody notice the headers coming out at the FRONT bumper ?
He ran this car at Kinston Dragstrip when it was originally built...

You beat me to it Danny, in Tom's pic you can see the headers coming out in front of the front wheel. There was an article in SS&DI on the car when it was originally built, and it talks about the headers....

I do know these pictures are of the same car.

Is this the same car (see pic of Joe Scott's camaro below)?
Where did it go after Wally had it?

I'm not possitive of this, but the Joe Scott car could be the car the Santangelo's now own. I believe Vito Savino bought it from Joe Scott and the Santangelo's bought it from Vito.

Good call Dennis, I never noticed it was a T top car, but then again I usually only see the back of it!

ANSWER = ........ "YES".. IT IS THE SAME CAR!
Wally had this built at FJ Smiths.
Sold it to Walt Kriel (from NJ?)
Joe bought it a few years ago after his GT truck burnt in a garage fire.

Neat stuff. Tom, do you know where my ex Joe Scott GT Camaro fits in this timeline?? See pics below of when I toyed with it back in 2002ish timeframe. I still have it, although she hasnt seen the light of day in years.. Tucked away in the trailer, while I tend to more responsible matters....

It was the Joe Scott lime green machine, that made the cover of SS&DI in 199__ something??

Would love to get the full history of her, and see some more pics of her back in the day..

Kevin
