My Nostalgia Super Stock Belvedere

I bought a new 1969 Camaro 6cyl 3spd built a bb 427/425 ran B/SA it was a new color for 69 Hugger Orange. My friends including Gordon Holloway of Comp Cam at Lakeland drag strip in Memphis said it looked like a pumpkin going down the track said I ought to put a green stem on the roof. Back then everybody had a name on their car. I thought about Charlie Brown waiting on the Great Pumpkin so there it was. I sold that car to Jerry Jennings in 1971 he still has it I tried to buy it back but not for sale. I built another about 1985 I'm racing now looks just like #1 I named it Great Pumpkin #2

Hi Dwight we had some great times at Carlisle lots of great cars and people I don't think we realize how good it was!! But also I'm glad I lived through those days we were kind of crazy. Thank the Good Lord, He was watching over us even when we weren't living for Him!

My 68 Camaro ex checkmate modified car is called killintime. As in ET. Also is well suited for time I spend in the garage.
