What am I missing here? It appears to be another red, late 60's Camaro with BMW wheels, is there a back story?


I really have no clue, I imagine its an early Stielow build?
It's a cool looking car and would be interesting to see how much has changed in the hobby/aftermarket since it was built.

Charlie, I've got to ask. Are you the kind of guy that if I were to say "I'm looking for a "insert famous or rare car", you'd tell me you know where one is, the condition and what it could be bought for?

Yes it is a the car Stielow built before he built the Mule. He ran it in the One Lap of America race with then Pop Hotrodding editor Cameron Evans riding shotgun. I think it's entire build was in Super Chevy ?

lol, the building of Mule was covered in PHR in its entirety. 16 or 18 months of to build I want to say. It's a great car. I think Mark even made a book of its build. Honestly, it's a very sedate looking car but it's a beast.

That's cool that you've got Thrasher back in your hands, Charlie. Do you have any plans other than driving and enjoying it?

I'm obviously late to the party, as I've never heard of this car.
Charlie, have you owned every Camaro that Mark ever built, except the current patina car?

LOL....He got the patina car from me...I bought the Red Witch 67 Camaro off of Ebay. Called Mark to let him know I got it from the guy he sold it to. It was all downhill from there.
