Well, the orange 69 Camaro Kevin has was at one time blue, which car it was and who owned it is something I'll leave to others to decide. I know Steve Calabro was the first person to tell me it was once his, or his and Joe Fasano's. I think one of the Ficaccis, Mike or Dave, or maybe even Steve, also told us about the car's past. Anthony Bertozzi told us that he had bought it from Ken Bugaj. Ken has also contacted us and told us it once belonged to him. Also, both Arnold Greene and Mike Heintz told us some of the history of the car.
In any event, it has two class wins at St Louis, a runner up at the 2011 St. Louis race, and tow class wins at the Bowling Green SportsNational Open.

This Wally Clark (FJ Smith) built SS/GT camaro was one of the first 5 GT cars ever built.
Is this the same car (see pic of Joe Scott's camaro below)? Where did it go after Wally had it? ![]() ![]()

How about this one?
I was told (correct me if you know something different) that this was the first SS/GT car to hit the track back in the 80's..... Dick Henry (Ed Quay built). ![]() Is this the same car??? (Ron Morehead) ![]()

I sold this Corvette after the 1977 season to a guy in Chicago. I know it was still in Super Stock in 1979. Does anyone know what happened to the car? Thanks

John Nemeth out of Indiana has this car now. I think Tim Ryherd purchased it from you. Conway Witten bought it from Tim. Went through a few owners. I sold it to John. FYI, Alex |

Thanks for the picture! What a fantastic thread, a real trip down memory lane. Alex sent a telephone number for John Nemeth and I will have to touch base with him. I had no idea where the car was, or if it was still alive. That car provided a lot of thrills back in 76 and 77. I believe it was the first SS/J car to run in the 10's. Winning class at the Winter Nationals was a "Big Deal" back then, since only the class winners got the chance to compete in the eliminator. Thanks, Happy New Year and say hello to your dad.
