This one looks like it could still get the job done today!
Great looking 74'ish Camaro that used to get around Flemington real well in
the Late Model division with Jeff Johnson behind the wheel. Jeff would
go on to race sportsman too. I always liked this car since at the time (80's) my then girlfriend (now wife of 25 years) had a nasty looking brown 74 Camaro with a pukie, 350 2bl in it that was on it's last legs... Well... I got tired of seeing the tell tale sign of blue smoke when it pulled away from a stop... and I really hated the color brown that it was, so let's just say that I borrowed the car for a while... By by the time I gave it back to her a few week's later, it was painted "Midnight Canyon Red" which was actually a color found on Mercury Cougars back then, and it kinda looked a whole lot like the color of the #66 above. And because the car had a tan interior, I always made the connection to this car. (Oh yea... almost forgot... The car had a small block 400 with a 4bl in it when I gave it back to her too... that I had pulled from an early 70's Chevy Estate Wagon... Man did that car run!) |

Wow! Great shot. I watched that car being built in
the rear garage bays of (what used to be) Station Auto Repair in Lebanon
NJ. That’s just how a Late model should look IMO. |
