My vote would be Sid Sweenes` `69 ZL-1 Camaro from Colorado. Not sure if it ever hit the streets. I saw the car before it ever hit the track when my dad was opening up the wheel wells for the slicks in our garage. As much as I can remember,the car always ran with the aluminum block in it as well. Even Reggie Jackson had an interest in the car but Sid wouldn`t sell.

I have 3 that hit pretty close to home:

1. "The Hemi Countdown" -- '65 A990 Belvedere purchased new by Harry Holton ("Grandpa") and currently owned by SS/AH racer Mark Vieira. To my knowledge, this car has been bought/sold about 7x now and still has yet to leave Stanislaus County (California)!

2. Our current '65 Belvedere. Formerly owned by Robin Pellesier and Barton-powered. Have owned since '96. First A990 in the 8's in legal SS trim.

3. Don Little's yellow Barracuda. World Champ in '99. Top 10 multiple years running. Numerous wins and records. About to begin a new life back in its original plum-crazy with a 440-6 and street trim. The car has been completely restored. Original 6-pack car to boot!

He is hanging in there. Just got out of the hospital after 27 days. Still doing radiation and chemotherapy right now. He is in good spirits now that he is home. I'm going back to spend some time with him in mid Jan. One day I will take you up on that offer. Thanks for asking about my dad.
