That must be the Hahn Bros car. It was bronze like that as I recall. The other post I just saw shows it's the Hahn Car. Pretty sure it was a small block.
Very cool some one found it, and is puting it back together. Wish I could find my old Jr stock 56 Chevy we raced at Omaha Dragway.

Yes I worked with Bill Vice at Charley's in the late 60's...early 70's. Was known as "Stoney" then. Spent a few after work hours with him inside a bar or two.

I remember when his first boy was born.....man do I fell old

There was also a guy named Tom Tintsman (sp) that was at Charley's too. Small framed guy. And Rose and the kids of course.

John wanted to go big...and off he went to the big time. Seems like he moved north from Omaha to Minn. (or there about) after a while...not sure where

Do you know what VIN was on that 396? Was it from a Camaro or from that Corvette?

I was also told that they had a hard time selling #22 as a ZL-1 and swapped in a 396. But where did that 396 come from?

I also may have the original cowl air cleaner for #22, muncie and POP book that Al gave me in 2004. I will have to lookup your VIN number on the list.

I also may have a Photo of that car on Al's lot from 1969.

We raced Gary Hansen in 69 when the Roadrunner was still a street car with my friends 66 L79
Chevy II. We raced north of Dodge st on the interstate from Maple st south.
