There was a twin to that one in my hometown when I was a kid. I've always been a longroof fan. I had a 64, 4 speed GTO at the time. I always imagined owning one of these with a 4 speed.
Neat cars!

Has the Burford car made any runs or headway yet?

Guy, I hate to be an ol' stick in the mud, but you need to run that car with a 4 bbl.
The 2 bbl is just too small with 350 ci.
You can run it in N without a roll bar. The hp is way too high but it will still run the index easier with a 4 bbl.
Write a letter to NHRA. Tell them the hp was kicked up on that car because of Rink's GTO.
A Ventura body style with a ram air hood..
Should be back down to 250 max...Really 235 where the GTO started.It should have never been factored up in the first place.

Amen to Mark! Keep writing those letters and working on the car. They reduced my '62 Grand Prix from 318 to 275hp although I still had to throw a bunch of money at it to be in the middle of the pack for a K/SA!
