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.
