I've never posted one this way before but kinda fun.
This is the evolution of the W/P=10.50 class from 1968-1971, wins, R/U, records, chronology so you can see how the cars evolved.

NOT complete, just from the records/win sheets I do have.

Stick, then Auto (in red because ATF is red)
Stick cars, lots of W-31 Olds at least at the national level.
Auto cars, lots of dual quad 383 wagons (I wonder if even one ever left the assembly line).
Note the William Beck Ford, still guessing what car/engine that is.

Heavier 428CJ cars in both stick and auto, mostly auto.
455HO cars starting in 1971 of course.

The final one is a block chart of which ENGINES won in /S and /SA, in the hotter classes from W/P=8.00 to W/P=11.30, from 1967-1971.
