"This is Clarence Everett’s one year old Camaro. He ran H / G. He was a legend in Oregon. Clarence bought the one year old SS 396 as a recovered theft.It was missing engine, trans, wheels, tires and most of the interior according to Clarence's family when he bought it.
It's rumored on the Yenko Site to be one of the missing 1967 cars, but the car is long scrapped after running at Bonneville
Paul installed the Full Race Flathead. Clarence raced Bonneville and the drags for about 40 years, with all types of cars, Mostly Flathead powered." The basic drive train was factory 4:56 posi, M-21 4 speed and brake system. The weight was stripped down to approximately 2775 pounds. No times or speed given for the car, only that it was a consistant class winner for 2 years running at the Woodburn Drag strip in Woodburn Oregon before Clarence converted it to Bonneville specs.

I removed heater box and wiper motor, mated the 300 c.i. Flathead to the M-21 4 speed. Made up his hood, gutted the interior and made up Clarence's Wheel combo.

I always thought it kinda strange for a Camaro to have the Flathead in it, but, it looks good. Plus, it was a winner. Dan

You hit the nail on the head there. Part of my love of drag racing is based on the fact that "back in the day" a guy could put together some kind of car that would fit in some class without needing a small mint to do it. Just guys hanging out, enjoying a common interest, and keeping out of trouble doing it.
