Bill Casey’s "Super Pumpkin" Camaro – 1973

Found this photo of Bill Casey’s Super Pumpkin when it was a 57 Chevy. I believe this was taken in 1972. Maybe some one can update the info.

that pic is before 72 … in72 which was the last year I ran that car I had totally rebuilt it including paint and lettering … had silver leaf which Dino didn’t do at that time . in 72 the cars that ran for money were in the paved hot car pits in back of the starting line . that pic was in the old gasser pits in back of the tower … boy I realy wish I had that car back 😥 😥 Billy

at the end of the 72 season I relized the I had to update … the camaros were the future and if I wanted to compete I had to go that direction . I sold the 57 to a guy from England for $1500 complete , all spare parts , no motor or trans . the same guy that bout “Russo’s Rat” … The engine and trans from the 57 went in the camaro and the 1st pass was faster then I ever went with the 57 but it felt so slow … the 57 was a handful and more fun to drive .. I’m getting alittle misty here just thinking about it 😥 😥 😥 great memories … Billy

Hi Dino…the 57 was raced for a few years in England and Eurupe , then was redone and became a show car , then after that it was sold and redone again and made into a street rod [ that had to be quite a task ] .. that was over 20 years ago
havent herd anything since then … Billy

When I get a break …I’ll search out Merry old England and see what I can Find.
