Rory....I bought the Camaro as a roller from ZK in 1977 or so. ZK used the proceeds to go toward the purchase of the Chevelle. IIRC, that red Chevelle was actually the old Bodnarchuk and Woods car out of Manitoba...and at the time, it was truly bad to the bone (held the record multiple times - note the decklid in the photo below). ZK and Larry (the guy with the Super Stock AMX) both worked the counter at Midwest Automotive in Saskatoon, SK. Randy Swain did quite a bit of machining for me in the Seventies.

Al Bodnarchuk (who is on this site) can correct me if I'm wrong on the lineage of ZK's Chevelle.

First pic is of ZK under the Chevelle ("Nite Rider II"):

The next fuzzy Instamatic photo is of ZK racing Gary Waldner (aka "Waldo") heads up. Waldo's car was named "Mr. Magoo". It was a really nice car for the era:

Tons of ancient memories! Take care Rory....
