This 69 Camaro Funny Car by Logghe is a vintage race car that has been restored to its former glory. This racer features a Logghe Stage 1 Chassis, making it a unique and collectible piece for any car enthusiast. Built in Detroit USA this adds to its historical significance and appeal. Perfect for display, and or cackling, this Camaro Funny Car captures the essence of classic American automotive design and drag racing history.
Because this cannot be raced due to its age (no frame cert) we decided to make it a cackle car for display and start-ups. New parts are numerous. A partial list is provided. Highlights are a 468 BBC built to run on 100% nitro. A Mooneyham blower was chosen as Gene Mooneyham was the first crew chief for this car in 1969. Also Al Bergler was involved in the original build at Logghe. All metal was blasted and powder coated or polished.
All fabrication work was performed by Phil Hartmann and J. Ed Horton of PH Fabrication. Richard Hartmann, crew chief of the Wilkerson AA/FC did first fire and set the timing. Many spare parts and accessories will be included with the sale. I have included some of the new parts listed for this restore as well as some original pics when Jack Brown and Gene Mooneyham originally had it built and from Mickey Hart who bought it and raced as a competitive BB/FC.
BTW, - the rear American Racing Magnesium Bear Paws and slicks are spares from Bill Porterfield's "Jim Kirby and Dick Harrell's '68 Camaro Funny Car". Front wheel bearings are Ceramic and rear Differential is an original Logghe 9" Ford; the spool was replaced with a Detroit Locker to aid in pushing the car into location. A powder coated empty TH 400 is in place with a balanced 454 flywheel installed (no flex plate). There is no drive shaft in order to conform to sanctioned rules.
