I was messing around looking at different cars the other day and found one that looked kinda interesting.
1962 Chevy Biscayne wagon 327 300hp(factory rating) 360 ft lbs 1/4 mile time listed 16.4 calculated by simulation@automobilecatalog.com shipping weight 3940 lbs I haven't looked to see if it is even listed for s/ss yet |

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
Before the whole COPO deal, I had a plan to build and race each GTO from 1964-1971. Maybe I will get back to that plan one day.....

Here you go ! Threw in a '72, since I get 9 pic slots. Between these Goats there were quite a few class & event wins, as well as nat records. Also, the '71 got 3 RU's in a row @ Indy, & held a nat record 5 years running. And, as most here know, I could list quite a few more. Hey, hope you get to build & race one from each year. If you contact Todd Kuhn, he might let you make a few passes in his '70 455, to see how you like it. Might inspire you to start building your own. Also, I've read that there are plans to run the old Axemaker & Reuland '72 model, on a limited basis. You might be able to contact those connected with that car & get to drive it some, so you could be racing while you're building one of your own. Hey, the old Ray Hunt '72 is for sale. Would be cool to put it back on the track. Done right, it might also be worth some money, when you're through racing it. The D-port 455 engine makes a good combo in a '72. Todd Hoven won a nat event & class @ Indy with this combo, back in around 2008, IIRC. But, a quick scan of the '64-'71 GTO combos seems to show that a '68 or '69, with a #16 head 400 engine, would be the most competitive combo, without using high dollar round port heads. The NHRA hp factor is only 325hp. That's less than the same engine in a '68 Bird. IIRC, a few years back, Adam Strang set the F/S record in a '68. Tim Gillespie also ran a nice '68, which ran low 11's & qualified @ Indy. http://www.classracerinfo.com/Engine...5&MAKE=Pontiac http://www.classracerinfo.com/Engine...4&MAKE=Pontiac I'd like to see all the Pontiacs possible out on the tracks !

I'm a GM guy but my memory is starting to fade some, wasn't there a ( I think) 64 or 65 GTO 389 4 speed car that had a functional style hood scoop from the factory. If someone could jump in and clarify that, I some how vaguely remember a Pontiac with that style hood and it was a steel hood , not a fiberglass replacement? Was there such an animal? I thought that was a nice looking car and there was a Light metallic blue hardtop example that used to race a N.Y. National speedway when I was a young lad. Have Good Day to all.
