1968 Dart 340 GTS (68' Winternationals)

[Paul Wong]

I suppose I am soft on this combination too.

I meant to say DEBUNK,
'to expose the sham or falseness'
'or disprove false or exaggerated claims'

In 1968,
the NHRA re-factored the 340's 275 Horsepower rating to 310HP, even
before it hit the pavement at Pomona, for the 1968 Winternationals.

1968 NHRA Winternationals,,,,,,,Stock Eliminator Championship

[Paul Ceasrine]

The 1957 Chevy's were not the only sharp looking cars from that year,,,

In NHRA 1968,,,
How about an H/SA 57' Pontiac Star Chief, with the 'Race-Ready', 347/317 HP
'Fuel Injection' engine.

A 'Potent Poncho' for H/SA (11.50 - 11.99 wt/hp) in 1968.
13.40's @ 103 MPH.

This photo is from the 1969 NHRA World Finals, with the Pontiac upped to I/SA.
