"...Love those 1st gen Camaros too. Reminds me of Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins’ cars..."

Yeah, the Grump had some quick & famous 1st gen Camaros.

But, there have probably been hundreds of thousands, or more, 1st gen Camaro drag cars. And there are still LOTS of 'em, all over the country.

For that reason, and mostly because I'm a Pontiac Freek, I've always preferred a 1st gen Bird to a 1st gen Camaro.

Truman Fields was my first Pontiac hero. So, the 1st 4 Pontiac pics are of a couple of his '68 Birds.

The next 3 pics are small tire SS cars from back in the day.

The last pic is an Angeles & McCarthy "big tire" '68 SS Bird. Those guys had a popular Pontiac book out, back in that era.
