Best SS/B of all time?

What was the best SS/B of all time. Ya gotta go back to the 60s to start, this is a tough one. Curious to see how many nuts like me enjoyed this particular class. Fast, hard to drive but dad gum exciting to watch.....or drive.

Many good ones I'm sure but how about Pennsylvania's Ken Montgomery. He bought his car new in '65, has raced the car all these years, has two National Event wins, the last one at Maple Grove in '98. Fast car and excellent driver, Ken and family are a class act. I've had the pleasure of announcing his racing many times, fun car to watch and talk about, he gets my vote!

Ken Montgomery is my vote, this car is his life, Top notch car and as nice a person as you'll ever meet for sure. I stuck around late after loosing early Sunday to see him win the 98 Keys, I got home around 4am and had to work the next morning, it was worth it. I think Leal was the first in the 9s so he gets 2nd place.

Butch Leal the car was way ahead of it's time

I'm a Chevy guy but I'd have to say the most successful and dominant SS/B car was Leal's '65 Plymouth, the 1974 version!

Jimmy was running 5.70 in the 1/8 on the brakes Sunday.

Mike , I'll second that on Ken Montgomery's "Triple Nickel" 65 Plymouth.
And a tip of the hat to Paul Adam's T-Bolt !!!
