They seem to be growing rad Camaros in Bakersfield! Johnny & Terry Mares from Rosamond, CA, built their ’67 Chevrolet Camaro with Hotchkis suspension run- ning Detroit Speed sway bars, a 350/Tremec power- train, a 3.90 geared Ford 9- inch, ProCar seats, and Rapid Blue paint from PPG.
Troy Bishop drove his ’39 Ford Standard coupe down from Klamath, CA (over 600 miles) with a crate 305/TH400 power- train, a Mustang II IFS, American Torque Thrust wheels, and won the “Division Director Pick” from Bob Ostrom.
It may not be the most practical ’61 VW Bus we have seen, but everybody wanted to know if we’d seen Anita Gonzales’ 48-inch wheelbase version that didn’t seem to stop cruising all weekend.
