Steve Tarrance held the record in X/S with a '67 Chevy II. I am not sure if it was a 4-banger or a 194" six.

194 six.

Scott Wilcox's '67 L88 Corvette in SS/A.

How about Minneapolis/St. Paul's Richard Charbonneau's '66 (or, '67?) Fairlane wagon with a dual-quad, 425hp FE motor and a 4-speed??? Doesn't get a whole lot weirder than that, unless you remember Helena, Arkansas' Jack Mullins, who had a Pontiac station wagon (about a '63???) running in Super Stock with a manual transmission, and winning a lot... and, I'm not at all sure about this, but I THINK it was a 2-bbl car. Anybody remember the carburetor on that car? (Dwight?)

Charbonneau's car was a single 4 barrel (410 HP) and a flat steel hood. Jack Mullins' '63 Pontiac was a 235 HP with a single small AFB.

Was there an aluminum head Buick, 2x4 deal in or around the mid 60's?

Also, what about the 4 cylinder Pontiac Tempest with a Q-jet?

Any body ever try or own one of these?

Jack also built a '63 four-dour hardtop for SS/R to butt heads with Dwight Cox's Indy-winning '66 Impala. He also built a '73 SD Firebird, but gave out on NHRA's decision to do breakout racing on the indexes.

I think Don O'Malley's '64 Corvette is cool. So is Eddie Miranian's '68 when he runs it with the 3x2 carbs.

Pillo's SS/B Hemi. Neil Smedley's turbo Firebird. And who was it that built the turbo '80-something T-bird for R/S? Blew everybody away with NO sound.

Mark Y. - If you are going back as far as Johnny Bartlett, you are going to leave out a lot of this crowd.

My personal favorite cool door car, although not a Stock or SS car, was the Wayne County Opel B/G.

Oh really? Then I better not bring up Ken Wilkinson's Jeep station wagon.

The Pontiac 194 and a half, with the 4GC is way too high horsepower.

Same with the 68 Firebird Sprint Q Jet Cammer

The Chevy II 4 cyl is way too deep into W/S...3 speed only,too

John Halbig,Denville New Jersey about 1980-82-'61 Chevy Impala hardtop,250 horse 348,4 speed,O/S, went 13.05 or so with an early rear end. We used to talk by phone on his nickle from Joisey during that time when he was doing that car. I think he got it into the 12's at either Island Dragway or Englishtown.
