Caleb Arone's '69 COPO Camaro was a big NHRA winner at the Dover Drag Strip. 4 times in '71 and once in '73
Drop me an E-mail if you have any info on this car. It was yellow and possibly black at one time.
It didn't have the hood scoop back in the day. It was possibly owned by Joe Lamana.
It was also possibly nicknamed Mr. Attitude.
It was also a 5-time NHRA winner at Suffolk County Raceway.
There are only 3900 miles on the car so it was probably only driven on the track.

PICTURES
Now I'm done with the first edit on the book and all the pictures are done. All 600+ images.
Here's a picture of my 496 stroker project engine
A really cool Cuda came into Goodies to get Paul Caselas to work his tuning magic on the new fuel injection.
I thought this was funny. I was taking pics while assembling the engine and couldn't resist.
For the last couple of weeks I've been working on my Big Block Chevy rebuild book
full-bore! I bought a couple of sets of valve covers from WWW.AnsenUSA.com for the engines
I'm building. These are REALLY AWESOME valve covers. The "496 STROKER" valve covers
are very similar to the GM Performance valve covers, but they are about 3/4" taller!
The polished valve covers are really nice and the polish work is beautiful!
I also purchased a Performance Stainless Steel WWW.performanceSST.com thermostat
housing for my 496 Project. This is the satin finish version. I can't beleive
how nice this part is. It's truly a top-shelf part for any engine.

I drove the Camaro to work today. I took the long way to work. :)
Today I thought I'd share one of my earliest inspirations for Pro-Touring.
...my biggest inspiration was Big Red, but not my first. It was February, 1981
and Hot Rod Magazine ran an issue with a "Street Heroes" section that included
dropped and flared first and second gen Camaros. I cut the magazine up and hung
the pictures on my bedroom walls. About a year ago I purchased a copy on Ebay.
Here's the cover.
Stay tuned for pictures and information on updates and upgrades.
