2017 Carl Casper Car Show: Corvettes and Camaros! Iconic Bowtie Iron (and Fiberglass)


2017 Carl Casper Car Show: Corvettes and Camaros! Iconic Bowtie Iron (and Fiberglass)

(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) – Why do the Corvettes and Camaros get their own gallery…?  Two reasons.  1.  There were more than enough of both to warrant it.  2. The Green ’70 Camaro day-2 build that requires more than a couple photos.  Quit yer complaining and follow along.

For starters check out the gorgeous ’73 Type LT complete with spoiler and vinyl top.  Next up is a red C2 roadster sporting a stinger hood scoop and a very potent, fuel-injected big-clock.  Nice.  Look a bit further down and you’ll see an unrestored ’69 Z/28 with stance and more.  Now let’s look at Jeff Mumford’s citrus green rendition of a day-2 Camaro in early 70s styling.  This thing is off-the-charts cool with a 630hp, tunnel-ram-equipped big-block and 4.11 gearing.  Dubbed the ‘Snot Rocket’ it is loaded with period touches from the large hood scoop revealing twin gold-anodized velocity stacks to the Lakewood traction bars.  It’s a brilliant time machine and there shouldn’t be a red-blooded gearhead that wouldn’t want to take it for a spin.  We’ll finish off this gallery with this amazingly-beautiful ’71 Stingray in ‘Steel Cities Gray’.  The color seems to have a green cast at certain angles and the look is something cameras can only begin to capture.  The car is subtle and striking at the same time.  Well-done.

Enjoy these and we’ve got a bit more to show you so come back and visit.
