"...Firebirds, I think 1996-2002. Ive always been a fan of those, I get excited just seeing one on the road. As long as its the 5.7L V8."
Yeah, those bodies look pretty good, especially the black ones with the scooped hood.
BUT, since I'm a self proclaimed "Pontiac Freek", I only get excited about one that is a Pontiac powered drag car.
Otherwise, to me, it's just another Chevy powered Pontiac body.
I think Phil Monteith's 4th gen Hatari Bird took Peter Biondo to at least 2 SS Championships. Won lots of big races.
" Mckinneys have that car back in their possession again."
Is this it in pic 4 ?
Leo Glasbrenner also ran a Pontiac powered 4th gen, for a few years.
I think John Peneta has been driving the red car in recent years. IIRC, it was a Johnny Duncan car. I think maybe Phil Monteith built the motor for it, as well as his Hatari Cars, since it has "Hatari" on the door. I think maybe Sam Biondo drove it some, among others. As always, I could be wrong on some of these details. If so, I'll stand corrected.
