Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

Here's a nat record list at the end of the 1970 season. Rod Kister had the top speed record for H/S, in a '70 Pontiac. Borcherdt & Stealy had the ET record for E/SA, in a '69 Pontiac. So, does anybody know which bodies these cars were, or any other info about either car ?

NHRA Junior Stock

OK, found info on the '69. It's "Rocky's Goat", that has been mentioned here. Apparently Fred Borcherdt was the main man involved in the car's performance.

This post says the '70 Rod Kister car was the "Big Iron II" car.

Says that Rod was div 5 champ, and that the car was the 1st in it's class to run under 12.00. I can't verify that. But that list I posted a link to, show his name as setting the record in H/S. Don't think any RA3 or RA4 engine car ever ran that low of a class. So, maybe it was a different car.

Here's some pics of it in restored condition. Don't know how close that was to how it looked, as raced, back in 1970. That was the only year Rod raced it. Only pics i remember finding of a "Big Iron" GTO, was of a '69.
