Here's a '69 Z, this is at Lions Drag Strip, logo on the side says "Beach City Chevrolet" where they in Long Beach,

 California ? sponsored some funny cars ? Sorry for the size found this image years ago on Worthpoint, came across it clearing

 some old files on my computer. Looks like spoiler delete car ?

Beach City Chevrolet was in California. I grew up in North Long Beach and Lions Drag Strip was awesome.

Here's a '67 SS/RS converible at a dealers in the UK, is that a 327 logo on the fender ?

Looks like a right hand drive conversion.

That's a pretty cool photo! I agree on the 350 because of the seemingly SS items. It sure looks like it's new in the showroom!

Thanks boomer & MO for the info re: SS option and 350 engine.

Would the right hand drive conversion be done state side or in the UK ?

As far as I know, cars were converted by an importer or local builder that specialized in such after overseas delivery.

Very cool pic! I hope those kids are all still friends! Yes, the Camaro looks like Butternut Yellow with Gold interior, possibly Yellow.
