Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

The King (can’t think of his first name) 74 gto was sold to Kevin Thomas (from Washington, In) who had the car for a year or two, then sold it to Mike McDonald (from, at that time, Francisco, In) who had it for a number of years and was then sold overseas. I have been accused of picking the car up .7 one Sunday afternoon in Bowlingreen, Ky.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

Need a positive ID, and any other info ya'll may have about this '68 GTO. It appears to have a div 1 number, which I can't positively ID, even with a magnifying glass. I see several possibilities that it COULD be.

So, some of you div 1 guys, help please.

The only 2 '68 GTO Stockers I'm aware of, in recent times, belonged to Tim Gillespie & Adam Strang.

I posted this pic, earlier in the thread, but don't remember asking any questions about it.

As always, thanks for any & all help with info on this car.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

This is the car:
37 1333 F/SA Bob Attridge, Mumford NY, '68 GTO 12.117 12.15 -0.033

Only see it running IHRA national events. This was from Toronto in 2006.

Here's the original photo:

Is this the GTO your talking about ? I purchased it from Buddy King who is a friend of mine I towed it to Alabama and set the record with it but that's been some time ago wish I still had it.

Thanks for that info ! I suppose that explains why I haven't run across it.

Bob had some Pontiac company at this race. Paul Dilcher was #1. Bill Rink was #5. And Lee Bannister was #22. Looks like Bob tried to clock in just under his index. I suppose that's all it takes, if you can avoid a heads-up run.

Dilcher #1 again.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2000#indextop

Dilcher slipped to #2.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2001#indextop

Dilcher slips another notch, to #3. Sal Biondo is #9. Bob drops into the 11 sec zone.

Was just curious, so I checked out this race form Norwalk. Rink & Dilcher were there. But Truman Fields had the highest qualified Pontiac powered car. And Don Turk was listed with a '68 GTO. Didn't know he raced one. Anybody what happened to it after Don raced it ?

Hey, Bob turned the wick up a bit & ran an 11.68.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2005#indextop

At the '05 Norwalk race, Truman was #3. Don Himes also came up from Fla, with his '77 GP, to grab the #21 spot, & Bob turned another 11.68.

Since IHRA has dropped Stock, do you know what is being done with Bob's GTO now ? Wondering if it has been running any NHRA races, since 2006, or if there are any plans to do so ?

Or, switched to bracket racing ?

Same owner as in 2006 ?

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

OK, so did Mike McDonald ever own/race it ?

Was it indeed sold overseas ?

OR, maybe Buddy had two '74 GTO's ?

Jerry, do you know if the GTO you had is still in this country ?

Do you know the names of those who owned it after you ?

I obviously don't have a clue.

And how about Raymond Simmons, from West Helena, Ark. ? Anybody know him and/or what happened to his car ?

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
 

I don't think Mike ever owned this GTO and as far as I know it stayed in this country, I had it back in the seventies.
