Great looking car good luck.

That is perfect! Too Cool....

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Hey Mark!

The car looks GREAT! Now it really needs a set of Chrome Cragers or some Torque Thrusts, at least for show off duty!

Keep up the good work.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

I have a question for you old school Mopar guys out there. On page 4 of this thread is a photo of Al Corda's C/SA '64 Plymouth wagon. It's a lot like my C/SA wagon except that it has a Max Wedge hood scoop. I run a flat hood because I thought that the scoop was a part of the lightweight package that is not legal for '64 wagons. Any info would be appreciated!

He is talking about the car not being in the guide anymore,

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

oh okay then, lol...I'm pretty sure that steel nose Dodges & Plymouths came with a scoop too, but I could be wrong, anyone else know for sure.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

They had to have the Alum. front end parts to use the hood scoop on both the 63 and the 64 cars. The 64 alum front end station wagon version was removed from the guide many years ago. They also had to have the 425 HP Max Wedge engine combo to use the alum. front end on the 64 sedans and hardtops. They could not use the alum front end with the 415 HP engine on the 64's.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Thanks Terry, I knew you had the answer, I knew it had to do with the HP but could not put it in words.
PS
You wont find a 69 for $15 grand.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

I know.......a junk 69 brings almost that much. I just put that on there to "TWEEK" a few. LOL I can almost see stock and S/S turnning into something like the Unleashed index classes a few years down the road unless NHRA gets their act together on the HP deal. Maybe they need another way to detemine the way of classifying the cars???? To many classes and to many engine combos being used today. It might need to be narrowed down to just a few combos of engines for the brands/body styles being used???? Who knows....I try not to get a head ache over it anymore.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Your car looks awesome Mark ! Great job

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Hey X-Tech-Man, I noticed what Bob just posted...so are you seriously looking for a 69 Camaro to build up?

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Nope......I want to buy one already done. Im to old to build one from the ground up any more. There are a couple of other cars Im looking at also that havent sold yet. Just have to have a brain fart to decide what to do.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

I believe Tom Kasch here on Classracer ran a couple of early Camaro's, so what were the spec's on those cars, engines & trans etc, maybe he can post the link.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Chris, I have argued the hood scoop in Super Stock for a long time. Look at the "Grumpy" scoop on the fiberglass hood on the Bobby Yowell car. There are all different designs of scoops on hoods in these photos. I remember several different designs and some that were actually hand made and mounted on hoods and ran in Super Stock "back in the day."

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

Well, about all I saw was Chevy & Mopar stuff.

Thread title doesn't specify brands. So, I'll add some Pontiac flavor into the mix. :D

Most of these teams began racing in the '60's. But some kept racing into the early '70's, & longer.

One major team was the Knafel Pontiac team. May have been the most successful Pontiac race team ever. Went by the name Anderson Pontiac, before changing over to Knafel. Many of their cars were named "Tin Indian".

They raced a variety of classes, among which were A/FX, Stock, & SS/S. Had lots of class & event wins, as well as nat records.

The Junior Stock book says the team had at least 200 event wins. One of those was Arlen Vanke winning the '66 Spring Nats, in a Knafel '66 GTO.

Re: any pictures of stock/superstock racing teams from the 7
 

I suppose the longest lasting Pontiac race team is probably the Mission Garage team. John Clegg bought a new '73 SD455 Bird, & won the D/S class @ Indy with it, in '73.

He later switched the car over to SS. In recent years they upgraded it & J.B. Clegg has run it well down into the 9's.

They eventually got the former H-O Racing Specialties SD455 T/A. J.B. ran it as an auto car, for a few years. They eventually upgraded it & changed over to a stick. J.B. got it well down into the 9's.

They have also raced a '74 T/A Stocker. IIRC, it was built by Forrest Pierdolla. Hunter Pierdolla drove it for a few years. It has most recently been driven by Devon Dioguardi.

They even ran an SD455 powered '73 GP for a while.

John Clegg has also built & raced at least one 3rd gen Bird, that is not Pontiac powered. As far as I know they have at least 3 currently active cars. That's almost 50 years of racing Pontiacs.
