This and Bazooka were based (loosely) on a 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Surprising that the downdraught engine from Bazooka didn't get substituted on some Cambuster models.
Also, strange that later drag cars were based on modified earlier American classics models yet the Firebird / Camaro was never released as a standard car.
