So I got with Aaron Stanfield and told him where I thought the car was. A few weeks he texted me to tell me he had bought his Grandfather's car & they were going to restore it back to like it was in the 1970's era. I was reading this thread and began to wonder about the restoration. I have misplaced his & Gregg's contact info.
Does anyone have any info about their progress. I'm interested because I watched Greg play (as a kid back in the 70's) in the pits when I ran Whitehouse Dragway and his Dad (Howard) raced the Camaro.
Are you talking about Allan's car, Howard's brother? If so I remember when it was new (black 68 copo car 427) before Allan and Bobby made it into a modified car. Good story with that car.

Mike,
It was a Gen 1 Car that Howard raced here in Texas back in the 70's.
Not sure where it came from. If I remember right it had a SBC and ran in J/SA.
Car was pretty unique. It had leaf springs and a Stahl traction device.
The family still had the original title on the car and matched the #'s

More than likely a different car, Allen traded the 427 engine for another guys Z28 302 straight up, both happy with the deal. Then raced a few years before getting a 64 Corvette, not sure where the Camero went after that.
Might add, I only remember a Nova wagon Howard raced, Allen drove it one time and after the launch he said there was nothing to do but check the radio and look around, felt he would never get to the finish line, LOL. Camaro was a black 68 4 speed. Interesting racing family.

My Brother found a 67 Chevy II SS in a orange grove. it didn't have a motor or seats the body was fairly straight but it had one unique item. Someone had put a straight axle under it. we put 4 tires on and pulled it out to the road paid the guy and loaded it on the trailer and headed home with it. On the way home we were hoping nobody seen us it was a real jewel LOL. I had another front end we put it on and bought another chevy II that was completely rusted out. The girl used it for her Beach Car. The interior was perfect. The car then set in my brothers barn for another 20 years he then told me to put it together to race it. In the mean time my son bought a Chevy II body from a gentleman from NC and wanted me to help him so my brother sold the Grove find. And I am at the present time putting together my son's car. I would show some pictures but don't know how.

My 65, not too sure if it came out of a barn, I bought it on E-Bay, "Buy it Now" for a $1000 and had shipped to my house in NY from Deleware. The frame was full of sand, so wherever it was had to be close to a beach.
