Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Now back to the GTO.

I don't ever remember seeing a single '67 GTO Stocker, back in the old days.

Not real sure why. Maybe it was because they were so different from the '66. It was the first year of the 400 engine.

The Tri-Power was gone. It was the fist year of the Q-jet, on a Pontiac V8. May not have been lots of guys who knew how to do the Q-jet for racing.

Was also the first year of the TH400 in a GTO.

So, I suspect most of the guys who had been racing a '66 Tri-Power just kept running it. Maybe, a little "fear of the unknown". OR, maybe the guys who wanted to run a 400, went with the smaller, lighter new '67 Firebird. Those are still competitive today.

Anyhow, I've only found 3 pics if '67 GTO Stockers. Don't know how quick they were. One may have just run local tracks.
