Re: Super Stockers from the past...
Would have expected this old thread to be quite long. But it wasn't.
So, I better add a few Pontiac SS pics.
IIRC, SS was not made a separate class 'til '67. So, I'll begin with '67 models.
Will start with 4 '67 Bird pics.
The 1st one was a nat record holder.
Of course the 2nd one belonged to Gay Pontiac, & was driven by Roy Gay.
Notice the Vitar decal on the Myrtle Motors Bird. My 1st racing converter was a Vitar brand, at the recommendation of H-O Racing Specialties. It worked great. My girlfriend won her 1st 6 races of the '75 season, plus the Louisiana State Championship race, held at the Monroe track, in our E/SA '68 Bird.
The 4th Bird belongs to Joel Larkin. Don't know if it was racing long enuff ago to be called a Super Stocker from the past, or not, since it's a "big tire" car. Oh well. A DRC search shows the car racing in 2003. So, that's almost 20 years ago. That's old enuff to be the "past", for me.
Pic #5 is a SS/IA '67 Goat. #6 is a GT/FA '67 Goat.
For #7, how 'bout a little variety ? Anybody ever see a SS/H '65 GTO ragtop ? It's certainly the only one I ever saw.
#8 is a SS/I '66 Goat, the "Bailiff".
I'll finish this batch of pics out with one of my Pontiac heroes, Jack Mullins. He wasn't driving his old wagon in '67. But he was in '75, when he won the US Nats ! Was a record holder & multi nat event winner.
