Their text says the C/SA=8.50 class winner was Bill Morgan in a 1964 GTO.


Well, the top GTO was of course the 389/348-6v which has a W/P=9.50 so would run in E/SA (with a powerglide?????) and not C/SA.
Maybe it was the GTO with the 421HO option, like the magazine article.


Are these typos or how do you miss stuff like that?
Most of the old pics I have of the '64 & '65 GTO Stockers show 'em running in B/S.
