This and Cambuster were based (loosely) on a 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Surprising that the blower engine from Cambuster didn't get substituted on some Bazooka 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.
