What is the correct description of a 60's Jr. stocker.

[Paul Ceasrine]

Yes,
Going back, very bizarre requirements.
Making the muffler system (attached), part of Stock Class.
How many mufflers and exhaust pipe systems went flying out from under the car. That rule should have been canned for safety purposes alone.
Exhaust pipes, mufflers and tail-pipes should have been optional, not mandatory.
Understanding, if your race car was your daily driver, how easy would it
have been, to un-bolt a set of 'Cherry Bombs' from the headers
(10 minutes 'tops'), and leave them on the ground, and not worry about having some rigged wiring or adjustable hangers dangling from the under-carriage, or worry about the exhaust pipe network or a tail-pipe with an expensive chrome-extension go flying out like some 'boomerang', as you went through the traps.

Back in the day some of those mufflers were hung near the rear of the car and "some how" weighed a lot more than stock mufflers.....lol.

X-Tech,
Concrete-filled. or Lead-filled.
Maybe the exhaust system should have been allowed to be placed in the trunk.
Some of those 'special' mufflers required two-people to lift it in the trunk.
Of course, no one said there were legal 'silencers'.
See, thats why they should have allowed 9.25" slicks for the top stock classes (9.99 and under).
8" wide inch for middle stock, and 7" wide for junior classes.
More Traction,,,Please

[X-TECH MAN]

Both....Concrete and lead. I know it for a fact.....lol. Not to mention the spare tires that required at least two guys to take one out of the trunk. I knew of one spare tire that required an engine hoist to remove it and that was as late as around 1974.

The BEST description for me of a 60's Jr. stocker is lots of inexpensive fun fun fun !

X-Tech,
I think the Mid-West Farmer Junior Stockers filled the tires with Portland Cement Limestone
A little trick they used on the farm, to get better traction from the
John Deere Tractors. (148 lbs./ cubic foot)
Seems that the powder weighed a bunch, and filled nicely in one of those 7.75 x 14's.
I think the only way to get it out of the trunk, was like you you said, an engine hoist,,, or wait for the trunk panel to rot out

3600 pound 67 small block camaro had a 275 pound weight box behind the removed back seat backrest-the optional/legal 5/8 inch plate steel gas tank shield between the trunk floor and the top of the tank, and the 150 pound L60x15 spare tire on a steel rim filled with an assortment of starters/generators---by the way if I remember right shipping weight on my car at the time was 2885 pounds----- Comp 387
