Hi George

I believe this red camaro is the current car that Joe Scott still has.

A little over a week ago, long-time Super Stock and Comp racer Larry Tores lost his wife, Janis, to cancer. Went to Carson City for the funeral and spent a lot of time talking with his former racing partner Gary Bosz. While talking about old cars, Gary mentioned that his old '56 Chevy was still running in Division 3.

This car: Gary Bosz SS/PA is the same car that Myron Ramey is still running 38 years later.

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

I can elaborate a bit re the front exit headers of Dick Henrys.

I built Wally's Camaro shortly after Dick had his car out. (As Tom said, one of the first GT cars built)
I built the headers (rear exit) for Wally after stories around were that you couldn't build conventional rear exit headers. ( I'm pretty stubborn at times) .
After Wally's car was out, I built a set for Dick as NHRA took a dim view of the front exit headers.

Now, if I can just post a pic of my original Camaro, where is it now???
