Sterling in 69 Spring D/S=9.00, again 62 Cat 421SD
The 61 Cat/Ventura 389/333hp has a W/P of just over 11, which would run way down in H/SA=11.00 class in 1969.
The Wolf car 69 Spring B/SA=8.00 could not be a 62 Cat 421SD - those cars are just too heavy.
The lightest aluminum 62 421 SuperDuty Cat I see is the aluminum front 2-door sedan at
3609/405=8.91 which would run in C/SA=8.50 but a bad fit.
The big 421SD always ran at W/P=9.01 from 1968-up which would be D/S=9.00 or D/SA=9.00 in 1969.
A 63 Swiss Cheese Cat could run up in B/SA=8.00 but those were never stock legal - not enough made.

OK, I’m with the program now! I was working backwards...assuming less power = lower class....but forgot about weight.
So in Summary
- Wolf was NOT a Cat , either 333hp or 405hp
- The 333hp cars w ould have run very low classes
I think I’ll just have to take your best guess on Wolf’s car.
