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

Here is a 2006 picture of John Nemeth's corvette (taken by Bob Wenzelberger) @ Columbus.

Tom,

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.

John plans to be back out next year. I sent you his number. He'd love to hear the history on his car.

I am pretty sure Len Schneider still has his thunderbird. I saw him with it as little 5 years ago.
