Hey Mark, didn't Marty Robbins have a Camaro once?

I'll bet he did.
AA, A, B with the same 396 short block!

Or was it a 427 iron head?
Or 427 ZL 1 ?

Nah, I think it was a '68 ragtop, 350, 350 with cragar ss wheels and twin glass packs.
I think I saw him at A&W Root Beer one nite.

I'm not a big Camaro fan, but Kevin is. The car just fits a lot of classes and it works well. There's almost no engine Chevy built in 1969 that wasn't available in the Camaro, and only one that didn't come with an automatic transmission. It's just a real popular and real common car.

I'm a Chevelle man myself, I'll build a 69 Chevelle when I get in a better position financially.

I'm with you, the 69 SS Chevelle is the favorite of mine, too. I think it was the best looking of all the MuscleCars (including those from Mopar, Ford and AMC), and it was one of the best handling, and fastest, too, depending on engine. I will eventually move to a Chevelle when I've run my course with the 442.

Well, I got hooked, Harry Vineyard had a nasty white 69 Chevelle 427-425 here, he drove it in B/SA, and they put a 4 speed in it, Tucker Parrish drove it in A/S. It may be my favorite race car of all time. When he sold it, he told my I should buy it. He was right. I let a killer car at a good price get away.

That green car of Kevin Borgstrom's is a killer, too. Not too often you see a B/SA 69 Chevelle win in Super Stock running SS/EA.

Mark...I agree....Certainly a 69 camaro is a really neat car....and one of my all time favorites....But there are way too many in stock and super stock for my liking....that was one of the reasons that we built a new style car(08 CJ).....it has the old style look but I can go to the dealer and get a brand new whatever......our car actually had 18k miles on it but was still like new when we took it apart....When we debut our new super stock drag pack this season, it will have transformed from a brand new body....something the old cars haven't had in a long time....the rest of the parts came from the dealer.....pretty nice....I was a classic car guy....but these new cars have changed my thoughts.....and added to the variety.....
