Is this the combo that Kip Martin ran in SS? I never met him, but became a fan from seeing him in Dragster and doing well with the car. (In the 80's?)

Continuing the Ford theme, here's another small Ford:


This is the 1962 Ford Falcon Deluxe 2-Door Wagon.

With a 144/85(85) inline-6, its factors are even higher than the previous Mustang. The manual factor is 30.40 (V/S only, at 2040 w/driver), while the Auto factor is 31.06 (V/SA only) If anyone wants to try building one for Super Stock, the only classes are SS/P & SS/PA and you'd have to find a way to drop the weight w/driver down to 1615 lbs!

The other engine is the optional 170/101(101) inline-6 [25.58/26.13]. All the classes are the same, but less weight removal would be needed.

Quick editorial note: If you know of anyone who still fields a car found in this thread, or have old pictures of any in action, I'm sure that we'd be glad to see them.

Keeping the Wagon theme, but moving from the sublime to the ridiculous, this entry is the ...


1964 Dodge Custom 880 Station Wagon

With the 361/265(265) it fits into N-O-P/Stock & SS/M-N-O
With the 383/305(305) it fits into K-L-M/Stock & SS/K-L-M
With the 413/360(360) it fits into G-H-I/Stock & SS/I-J-K

Fantasy combo: 2021 Chrysler 700 HP 378 V8 in FGT/A (8.80 index )

Chevrolet El Caminos are still seen in Stock. Here's a less common, but still beautiful example of a 1960 model:



There are a good number of engine combinations for this car. There is also sometimes a difference between the manual and automatic classes due to a large difference in factors..

235/135(135): V/S,V/SA
283/170(175): T~U/S,T~U/SA
283/230(215): O~Q/S, P~R/SA
348/250(250): M~O/S, N~P/SA
348/280(280): J~L/S, K~M/SA
348/305(305): H~J/SA auto only
348/320(320): G~I/S manual only

351/144(230) O-P-Q/SA, SS/NA-OA-PA

Yes and I believe Blair Patrick has it now.

Jerry Pruitt had his 64 352/250 hp 4 speed car out at a combo in Yakima Washington late last year for the first time in 30 years. Hopefully he will get to run it some more in 2021.
