Originality / Re: 1967 396 Tire Size

« on: May 12, 2010, 09:13:28 PM »

Here's the trunk of my bro's 1967 396 Camaro (non L78). Has an early tire sticker if that helps any...

Neat info. His shop (when I lived in "the OC" ) was on Batavia....I met him once without even knowing who he was...and like you say...he was a nice guy!

Troy...


Neat stuff....by the way...a couple of interesting facts about my brothers Camaro...if you notice the last name on the registration...it is Bryant. The dad Herbert bought the car for his son, Sonny...who is the same Sonny Bryant who campaigned pro stock cars mainly in the 70's and was still (last time I checked) actively involved in drag racing, NASCAR and sprint cup racing building crankshafts for quite a few racers. I know at one point he built the cranks forTony Schumacher's top fueler: http://www.blackanthem.com/Weapons/armytopfuel.html

Here's his minimal website:  http://www.bryantracing.com/aboutus.html

Here are two pics of Sonny in action...first is at OCIR




The second is at Irwindale...




He liked those black rear panel Camaros...LOL

BTW, as of a few years ago...his mom (who sent my brother all of the documentation) still lived in the house where the pictures were taken. And that house was just two blocks away from where I lived in Orange, Ca...on the same street, no less!!

Here's another 67 pic...with Cone Chevrolet plate inserts still on it (my brother's RS/SS 396 Camaro)

Can't get much newer than that...LOL

And my brother's Cone Chevrolet delivered (and March 31st plate issued) RS/SS 396 had UEY as the sequence...he still has the plates as well.


Hope this helps...

It was also very fun to drive! Charley allowed me that honor at Vettefest last November.



There's an interesting point brought up on another forum regarding this...

I can't say that I agree with your thought process regarding whether CL's Pacer was a factory L-78.  It was certainly built on the assembly line as an L-78.  There are documented ZL-1's that had the AL engine pulled in order to move them off the lot and they are certainly considered ZL-1 cars today.

BTW, thanks to Kurt for his help with my brother's 1967 RS/SS 396 and I hope that the info that we gave to him and Daniel were of some value. Thanks for having this site available for people
