Junior Stockers

For '63 models, I couldn't find hardly any Jr. Stock Pontiacs.

I suppose the 421SD powered '63 models were not NHRA Stock legal. But, I do have a pic of a '63 model running E/SA.

Also have a pic of a '64 big Pontiac Stocker. Caption says it was 421 powered. Mark said it had 400 power.

For the rest of the '60's, there were very few big Pontiacs run as serious Stockers, from what I can find. Pic #6 shows a 421 powered 2 + 2. Don't know how many of those hit the strips, as serious Stockers.

Well, '64 was the 1st year of the GTO. So, I assume lots of guys took 'em to the strip, to see what they'd do. A few dealers sponsored serious effort '64's.

During the pre-Firebird years, I'm sure there were lots of Tri-Power stick Goats running Jr. Stock. Other than the Knafel Pontiac '66, don't know how successful they were, nationwide.
