Roy Gay, of Gay Pontiac in Southeast TX, drove a '67 Bird in Super Stock. Don't have any record of times turned or race results.
Another '67 was driven by Tony Knieper. Looks like it may have been sponsored by Gratiot Auto Supply & Stan Long Pontiac. Pic caption says the car held a nat record.

Top row left side, the 1015 car my guess for C/SA is 1968 where C/SA=9.00, and the RamAir was already factored to the GTO's 360hp. Adding 56 lb for the T400 trans I get W/P=9.01, a perfect fit to class.
Otherwise, factoring the RamAir engine to 340hp and NOT adding the 56 lb for the T400 trans gives W/P=9.38.
Either way, 1968 seems to be the only year that would fit, or 1973 & newer but the picture just looks "old".
Since today's NHRA class guide does NOT add the 56 lb for the T400 in the Firebird, maybe it was never added. Manufacturers were inconsistent about this - sometimes they add 50 lb or so for an auto trans, sometimes they dont. That's in Today's NHRA Excel files. I dont have the old class guides so guessing a little.
