1967 Super Stock Nationals

[Paul Ceasrine]

Egbert,

1967 NHRA Super Stock Classes

SS/A .... 0.00 to 6.99
SS/B .... 7.00 to 7.69
SS/C .... 7.70 to 8.69
SS/D .... 8.70 to 9.49
SS/E .... 9.50 and up

Ford Classes
SS/B ....... 1966 Fairlane 500 and Fairlane 'Sedan' ...... 427/425 HP
SS/C ....... 1967 Fairlane 500 ........................................ 427/425 HP

The 1966 and 1967 Fairlane's with the 427/410 HP ~ 4-Barrel
fell into SS/C.

They could 'not' qualify for A/Stock {8.70 to 9.49 Wt/HP} in 1967.

But, early in the 1967 NHRA Season, the AA/S Class {7.70 to 8.69 Wt/HP} was still going, and that is where they could run.

But, by the 1967 Springnationals, the AA/S Class was
disbanded by the NHRA.

Picture of an ad from National Dragster May 1967. Poor quality photo. I will try to find someplace I can scan it.

Whoa,

I have photo's of Hubert running in 'SS/C' in 1967 with the
1967 Ford Fairlane 500 'Georgia Shaker' sponsored by Paul Harvey Ford.

Shoe-polished on the Windshield at the 1967 NHRA Winternationals.

How can this be ............

As you can see here, Hubert is campaigning the 1967 Fairlane 500, which was
heavier than the 1966 cars.

[Frank Castros]

When you enlarge the picture of Bill Ireland's car there is something attached to the front of the hood.

[69hurstsc]

Hubert did not campaign the car at the 67 Winternationals. The car was ran at the 68 Winternationals and was dropped a class down to SS/C.

Here you can clearly see the car ran SS/B at the Super Stock Nationals. Notice the line scraped through the lettering breaking up the "B". Though, if you peer through the glass and onto the windshield you can clearly see the reversed "B" on the glass.

Joel also took this photo at the same event and you can see what I'm talking about in the above paragraph.

I will have the full story on this car in my book. I have everything from the time it was created and tested until late 1969. The rest of the story is currently being put together.

[Paul Ceasrine]

That would be correct.

In 1968 at the NHRA Winternationals,

Hubert Platt was running in SS/C with the 1967 Fairlane 500.

Here he is going for the SS/C Class Trophy against Bill 'Grumpy' Jenkins in his 1967 Camaro SS-396.

Note: In 1968, the Paul Harvey sponsored 1967 Fairlane 500 had a slightly different
lettering scheme.

[69hurstsc]

Photo didn't pull up Paul.

Platt sold the car right after the 68 WN's. The car actually changed to the Two-tone paint job around September of 67. I have the story from the guy who bought it.
