Mr Bruce,
You may want to contact this guy: http://www.mlodeent.com/ Couldn't find any photos of these cars on this site but he has a bunch that aren't listed (found he has some color Daytona coupe pics) Prices are reasonable. Francis "Turbo II" |
Smokey...
I don't think the Camaro had the "Shrink" treatment but did push the boundries elsewhere. I met Smokey at a trade show and asked about the Chevelle, his reply "all parts have a plus/minus tolerance, I just stacked 'em up to my favor!"

Smokey,,,,what a great man he was. I was inspired by him when I was just a "kid". I was a mechanic (Ford and Chrysler dealerships) for years and Smokey was my inspiration. I miss him, still.......
Ernie His Chevlle was not allowed to run you know. The front bumper was "sculpted" for ground effects (among other things). Another time there was the issue with the hollow roll bar being used as an "auxillary" gas tank. He was creative if nothing else, ha ha. Later in life his "personal" car was a Ford Fiesta, modified to get extreme mileage. He was a very practical man. I still think about him from time to time. Thanks for the memorys! |
