The car in the background is the clone of the Donohue/Penske 1969 Camaro.

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.

And the 68 has side marker lights and the 67 doesn't.  Always preferred the 67 - 68 over the 69 with the kewl chevy symbol side marker lights making it my favorite.  The 69 is so popular because there are so many of them.  They actually produced them well after the end of the model year run.  I think they claimed tooling issues with the new 70 model...

No, there was a strike. The 1970 Camaro was actually the 1970 1/2.
