Here is the former Jones and Benisek car that Carol and Tom Rix owned. When they raced it he removed the J & B decorated windows and added new glass. Don't know if it sold.
Drag Race Central has some images of the GS Top Stock car in competition. Search by Tom's name. This red car was run in Super Stock competition with a low compression non Stage 455.

IIRC the Stage 2 package may have included the 3 barrel Holley. In the mid to late 70's there were a few GS and GSX cars around town that had been converted to Stage 2 with the kits. With the high compression good gas was a requirement, many may not have added the pistons.
