July 2006 Cover
Wes Allison clicked off the money shot with his Canon 1DS MK II, which perfectly embosses our Camaro vs. Chevelle vs. Nova cover theme. The '70 Chevelle belongs to Curtis McDowell out of Simi Valley, California. The incredibly mint '69 Z/28 and mustard-yellow '72 Nova belong to senior editor Bob Mehlhoff. We also have to give credit where credit is due with a special thanks to Vortech Engineering in Channel Islands for allowing us to take over their parking lot for the better part of the day.
