As the Penske/Donohue is the most famous racing Camaro of all-time, but I was talking about the LS1-derived updated version of it. Lee Shepherd's Camaro being #2 in my book.
CAP, '69 Camaros are easily identified by their wider "flaired" quater panels and accent creases down them.
Lee Shepherd may have been the best
driver ever to have dropped a clutch and pulled the handles on a Lenco. He may also have been the best cylinder head, carburetor, and intake man ever. I can remember walking in to Music City Rod Shop in Nashville right when the news broke about the wreck. I've had zero desire to own or drive anything Alston since. I watched Reher, Morrison, and Shepherd win the IHRA title in Nashville at Riverside raceway. They actually drained the fluid out of the Lenco and the gear oil out of the 9" rear end to set the record and take the championship. Warren Johnson is great, Bill Grumpy Jenkins may be the best all around, and Glidden may have been the hardest working.
The hump over the top of the rear fenders is slightly different on the 69 than on the 67-68 as well, as is the top of the front fender. There are just enough differences that you can tell them apart from most angles, even if a lot of the car is hidden.
