Thats the main reason I bought Salamis Camaro, it needed alot of upgrades but the historic value is awesome. It was worth all the work Gilsbach and we have done to make it a solid Drag Car again and I cant wait to get it done.

Sorry for post whoring, just catching up!

Seriously you have Salami's old car...can't wait to see it! he is the reason i started building a 2nd gen camaro years ago...unfortunately gave it up after buying a house.
 
anyone mention some of the good sleepers from back then? the white chevy II nova, '89 cadillac fleetwood w/GN engine and a red dodge daytona that may have hurt some egos
 
Back in the early 90's there was an older guy Norm I think his name was that had a puke green early 70's Buick GS.. The car was super low key could hardly hear the car running and just a lil chop in the idle.. Looked WAY stock but that car ran pretty damn good!

i remember on john kronx the rathbones leaving and the steering wheel coming off the old mopar
 
Norm aka Smiley lol. That car ran low 11's on street tires. He ran it in some class where you had to run factory rubber. Him and my dad went back and fourth many times. I believe his son had a blue one that was just as quick.
 
oh, the best was loudmouth marks blue notch with the airbrushed pony busting through the bowtie on the trunk. that was a sweet car
