Musclecar Photographs mrays

Here are some photos from Rick Treworgy's Musclecar City that I took in 2009.

Nice 66 Chevy II SS L79. This car was featured in the November 2007 issue of Musclecar Enthusiast.




This 69 Nova had an L78 and a 4 speed. It was featured in the December 2007 issue of Musclecar Review where the author stated it was a rare non SS L78 Nova. To my knowledge the L78 and L34 was only available with the SS package. If this is a real deal L78 Nova I assume it was just restored without the SS trim.




This 65 Malibu SS Z16 was the one from Sherwood Chevrolet in Johnson City TN that was given to Dan Blocker to drive in 1965. I believe the story is that he was given the option of buying it but declined and turned it back into a dealer in CA at the end of the year. This car was featured in the June 1998 issue of Super Chevy when it was owned by T. Gunter. It is also in Art of the Muscle Car.




This 67 El Camino has an L35 with A/C.



This 69 El Camino SS is an L78 4 speed car.



This 70 Chevelle SS convertible had an LS6 with a 4 speed. I believe the only documented Black Cherry LS6 convertible is the one D. Christenholz used to own so I assume this one is a clone.




67 Z/28 with cowl plenum induction.



66 GTO convertible with tri-power and the California smog setup.




70 442 W-30 with A/C and a TH400.

Here are a few pictures from the Factory Stock and FAST race at Martin MI in 2013. They were holding a lights out grudge race that night so a took a few pictures of those cars as well.

The Maransic's 70 Charger R/T 440+6 with a TorqueFlite ran high 12's.



E. Cook's 63 Savoy has a stroked Max Wedge with a TorqueFlite and runs mid 10's in the FAST class. This is said to be a real Max Wedge car, but the Fender Tag was missing so I couldn't verify that. Those rear bias plies are virtually treadles.



K. Kirker's 55 Bel Air had a 365ci small block with a ProCharger and ran low 8's. This has got to be one of the coolest 55 drag cars I have ever seen.





S. Williams 65 Malibu SS had a naturally aspirated 532 and ran mid 8's.



This 69 Chevelle SS was a PRO E85 car running a big block with NOS.



Beautiful 69 Camaro RS running a big block with NOS.



Sinister 69 Camaro RS running a big block with a ProCharger.




Nice 68 Firebird. Since they were running for money a lot of these guys wouldn't even take the hoods of their cars.



Fast 67 Dart. Yes it was Chrysler powered.
