Congrats on the win in stick combo!!! The car looks just like it did when Truman and I raced each other in the late 60's! Keep up the good work. Go Pontiac! Bob Michael.

SAME CAR ?..
.. (1973 NHRA US Nationals WINNER) bought FROM Roy and Mike McKinney..AFTER THEY bought it from Truman.

I heard Fields took a trade of a Burgundy '68 FB ..after that..ran it IHRA pure stock if I recall.And then bought another FB and THEN bought his orig 68 back from a barn find.

I'm confused.

Re: Todd hoven
 

Not confusing. This car is done in retro lettering as a tribute to the original car that won 2 US Nationals with 2 different drivers. The original car was sold last year to a guy who restored it back to stock.
In 2011 DRC did a story about me and this car and what it represents done like this.
This car was traded to Truman with money for his original car. BTW this car was originaly Verdo Green, not Burgandy. Truman owned this car from 1976 to 2012 when I purchased it. Hope this clears your confusion.

Wow what a family tree...and your engine is even painted the proper blue.!

I was an 18 YO back in that day, with my 66 Pontiac GTO..and reading about this R/A 400 FB in the National Dragster..every week and wished it was mine.

BTW what is the factory/NHRA HP rating for your combo.?
Does it have the d port heads?

Thanx..
