1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 “Old Reliable”

Super Stock NHRA racing is likely one of the most badass motorsports on the planet, or at least it was back in the 1960s. It was once about as close to stock vehicles as you could possibly get, yet they still screamed down the track.

One of the dominant and most memorable cars of the 1960s was Dave Stickler’s Camaro Z/28 dubbed “Old Reliable.” After it claimed the Stock Car World Championship in the 1968 season, “Old Reliable” was retired and sold.

New Camaro body approved for NHRA Pro Stock

The NHRA Tech Department has approved a body design for the ’12 Camaro SS for use in NHRA competition. The new Camaro bodies were developed and will be constructed by Five Star Race Car Bodies, and they are tentatively scheduled to make their debut at the Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals March 8-11.

The approval of the Camaro was the final step in the process of making the new body legal for NHRA competition. According to NHRA Tech Director Bob Blackwell, ”NHRA has an established set of standards regarding the minimum width, height, and other critical dimensions for all Pro Stock bodies, and the final version still has to retain the essential body lines and design features of the Camaro. All of these steps have been completed, and the various Pro Stock chassis builders are now taking orders from a number of the General Motors teams.”
