New ride bought!!!!!!!!
Here is the story, plain jane ad on RJ, very vague and only 1 picture. Says he is listing it for a friend and to call a number. I had seen this car listed before, so I called the number. Spent a good 1/2 hour talking to the guy. He bought the car a while back, had a small block and 4-speed in it. Decided to build up a nice .30 over big block and a fresh Turbo 400 and drop it in. The guy sounded like he knEw his stuff so I asked him to send me some more pictures. I get the pics the next day and here was the signature on his email.

Holy crapola Batman, its Del Worshams crew chief! I was in awe for awhile, we talked again and I apologized for being giddy cause in my world this guy is a God! So we strike a deal, he lives in Indy and where I work is about an hour and 45 minutes from there. I just wired him the funds and he is personally delivering the car to me tomorrow. I have been in a daze all morning, not only did I finally find a nice early 70's Camaro but it was owned and built by the 2011 NHRA Top Fuel Champ's crew chief. Here is the best pics I have till it shows up tomorrow. The pics are deceiving, its actually hugger orange.
Nice solid rust free car. Its not a true RS but someone installed the split bumpers on the front. Its was originally just a plain jane 350 2bbl car. Someone also installed the shorty rear spoiler thats only correct for 1970 cars but it looks great to me! The interior is starting to show its age but thats gravey work for me. The motor has about 500 miles on it and he said that when he put it back together he got a little carried away cleaning up under the hood. Ran the wires, heater hoses and tranny lines around the inside of the fenders to clean things up. As you can probably tell I (and the wife) are pretty excited! She ask him to do one thing for her, sign the inside of the trunk lid and he obliged. He is a great guy to talk and deal with. We talked about all the changes at Al-Anabi and he was just as shocked as everyone else that Larry Dixon left the team. Said he knew Del was leaving but is looking forward to having Balooshi and Langden driving this season and they just got back from a test & tune in California that turned up some great numbers.
I will post up pics tomorrow when the new car arrives :!:
