Clarence Everett and his 1968 396SS Camaro, a theft recovery car
he ran G or H/G, he was a flathead legend in Oregon, ran often at Woodburn dragstrip, and Bonneville
rumor has it it was the world's fastest flathead 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, a 1950 Merc block
Clarence took his one-year old ‘68 Camaro SS, yanked out the V8, and replaced it with a Flathead Ford. Everett apparently raced in a class that only allowed Flathead engines, as well as inline six-and-eight cylinder engines. It is an odd, odd combination, Flathead Ford and Camaro SS, but Everett reportedly saw a lot of success with this car.

ReplyDeleteAwwww wow! I finally did it! Yay me! And, thank you! Now i have a compliment of the day, and the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference!
DeleteI looked at that first pic and thought "Waaa...? That's a flathead in a Camaro!" Never heard of that one.
ReplyDeleteSame here, but then I used some google fu, found the other two photos to veify this was legit, and though I didn't come up with anything else about Clarence Everett, I think we can be sure that he was something rare and wonderful
