Came across this, which is a sad story. This is about a '67 SS Bird which I just mentioned.

Tony Knieper worked at Stan Long Pontiac. He was racing a '67 Bird, in SS/FA. Set a record somewhere, then was class RU, to Dick Landy, at the Winter Nats.

"...The record was set at Columbus. Knieper won class at the 1968 AHRA Winternationals and was runner up for ss/fa class at the NHRA Winternationals. He went 12.35 at 113 against Dick Landy's 12.23..."

Then, on their way to a div race, he & a younger brother were killed in a wreck.
