We (father-son project) just finished restoring/rebuilding the '67 Camaro of Dekker (& Mueller). We had minor changes done to the chassis in order to get an 8.50 NHRA cert. In lieu of the blower, we're running injected alcohol. It orginally had Guzman power. I believe they teamed up (Dekker and Guzman) soon after on the Assassination line of cars with John Dekker driving.


Back in 1969...

Few know that Flash-Gordon-Mineo, got his start serving as a driver for Tom Sturm and his Chevy Lover Funny. The one depicted here was piloted by Bob-Jet Car-Smith. Smith was involved in a hairy fire and survived. Simpson used it in their ads reminding all on the need to be well prepapred by using their products. Though not detectable from the photo, the car had a textured surface to the roof simulating vinyl

Hmmm, it appears that this 57 is blown. Note blower style scoop and drivers donning of fire suit and mask.

Speedy Day from 1969. I used to visit his speed shop and remember a guy named Nicholson that had Speedy tune his 1969 Nova with a 375/396. What a street car!
