Last I saw he was helping his son with a '68 Barracuda stocker.

Anyone remember Larry Peternel ? ... he lives just south of Milwaukee. If everyone had to build their own stuff .. he would have been a TOP FIVE car.

He lives just west of me in Bristol WI - great guy, and a genius and making a lot out of pretty much nothing.
I believe he still has his last (mid 90's) Firebird Pro Stocker.
He welded up some headers for me a long time ago, I helped him at the Grove just a few weeks before that, he said "we'll call it even"

Yeah ...I stopped by his place in 09 ... and we chatted for hours. All he had left was a PS motor.... what a guy.

I am wondering if he would enjoy that N/PS ....

I was diggin' through some old S/S &n Drag Illustrated and in the Sept 1982 issue I found this picture:



I did a Google search and found this thread!

Any other color pictures of the Imperial?

I was at the Gatornationals when he qualified for Pro Stock(Larry)(16),and promptly spit the oil filter off the car when it left the line and he "tapped" the wall!i think it was 1981.

Was that the same car the Petosa Brothers got a hold of? Funny, I also saw an ex-Imperial Pro Stocker smack the wall, but it was at e-town, with blown hemi power! Then I saw the same car in the early 90's doing bracket car duty at Moroso in Palm Beach...

A member here had told me in years prior that the Peternel car is in a Kentucky garage. It had been converted to a bracket car with a big block Chevrolet.
