Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

A '57 Bonneville convertible was the only model that had Rochester F.I.

'58's.....an option on any body style....

The biggest collection of Big early '60's Pontiac drag car pics I know of, is at this link, below the Chevy 409 section.

The 389SD & 421SD cars ran most of the upper Stock classes. And they were heavily involved in what i assume was the beginning of Super Stock. There were classes like S/S, OS/S, & S/SA.

Probably correct but didn't matter much in the late 60's ( Sedan Deliverys with Corvette engines and Hydros)

Never saw a picture of John with a convertible. After the FI venture with Freddie Borcherdt, I believe he then built the 56 Chevy, N/SA

Scott and Brad are 2 very nice people. They have earned and deserve ever accolade that they have received. When you talk to them you had better listen, because they are telling you what you want to know.

Kudos on inviting Scott to race his old Firebird in Sweden.

You're right for sure Mark.....once they knocked all the non production line combos out, that eliminated a lot of cars and not just Chevy's....

Pontiacs with solid cams .....and there were some who ran those.....Over the counter options never installed in production cars....

I had one of those cams in one engine and it was nothing like a std production street hydraulic......

I remember Al Vanis's vanis & decker Ventura. Indy winner. On the deck lid was, VD if you can't get near it you can't catch it.

I can't find any pictures, but Don Himes had an early 70's Lemans wagon (like Tons A Fun), a similar Lemans coupe, and a 77 Grand Prix. RIP Don. A very funny, self-deprecating sense of humor kind of guy.

How about Bill Edgeworth's 77? Firebird???? Division 6 Bill's number was 6471. This car, with Bill driving held 4 National Records at the same time. A few years ago, but I think they were J,K,M and N. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, I think a '77 Bird can run a 350 & 2 different 400's. Been quite a few competitive '77 Birds.
After Bill's passing, Ryan Warter raced the car, trying to help sell it. Ryan was driving the car in this pic, IIRC.
