Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Here's a change of pace. It's a 1973 Pontiac 4-door heavyweight. These are the only pics I've ever seen of this car.

It was named the "Tijuana Taxi". It ran T/SA. Had Vaughn / Marvosh on the front doors. Driven by Dave Marvosh.

Don't know what engine that would have been. But, it won a race at Columbus, with a 16.56 @ 70.69 mph.

Also was featured in a Motor Wheel ad.

With a magnifying glass, I think I can read "National Record Holder 1974", on the roof. Not sure. Anybody have more info/pics for this car ?

You'll notice For Sale signs on it. Unless I have my stories mixed up, I think Dave Katt borrowed the car & won class at the US Nats. Someone correct me, if that's wrong.
