Smokey Yunick
camaroboy68ss:
no doubt, for everyone thing obviously illegal there were probably 3 or 4 that under the radar. This car also had the windshield laid back a degree or two I believe among a great deal of lore and legends of other changes made to the car.

just thought i's repost this photo of the Yunick Camaro at Watkins Glen 1971, since it was on the previous page and not viewed as much as the photo after the blow up.

Hi there. I've been reading quite a bit on your forums regarding trans-am and Yunick. [an add-on for the browser allows viewing of old PB pics.] Used to have a 69 and a 70 SS.
There is quite a bit of Yunick stuff at Hot Rod magazines site, with nice big pictures. Like this one.

Ever see the suspension on his chevelle?

Their search function sucks, so better to use goggle as follows.

I found several pictures of the #81 Camaro entered by Smokey Yunick in the 1968 12 Hours of Sebring held at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida on March 23, 1968. After the disqualifications at Riverside and Daytona it's nice to see pictures of the car actually participating in a race, although it would not finish the event. Lloyd Ruby and Al Unser were the drivers. Views of Ruby, Unser, Yunick and crew members can also be seen. A few pictures show the car without the advertising stickers on the front quarter panel. I assume this was practice or qualifying. The pictures come from the Revs Digital Library and as usual just click on the links provided to use the zoom in features to see close up versions of the images.
