Re: Coolest or Oddest Combo.....
I was reminded this evening to mention a 1960 Pontiac station wagon owned and raced by a Paul Longnecker I think out of Ohio. He latter raced Top fuel and prior to that he raced in Pro Stock during the 1970 year in a Camaro. The old Pontiac wagon had a 288 or 292 small block Chevy with fuel injection sticking out of the hood like the old altered wheel base Mopars had. It rand E/G or F/G and weighed about 4400 lbs. It had a Mopar A833 4- speed trans and a 6.17 geared Dana 60 rear that lasted only about 13 to 14 runs before needing replacement (ouch). It was equiped with the factory 8 lug wheels and pulled wheel stands approx 2-3 feet high on each pass. At least it was different.
