In Stock there are a couple of familiar Pontiac names: McKinney & Running. There are also a couple of '74 Venturas listed, with names I'm not familiar with. I assume they were both GTOs, but don't know.

In SS, There's one '73 Pontiac. I assume it was an SD455 powered Bird. Not familiar with Fred Moore & my search didn't find anything.

But, the other name associated with the car is Bob Maxey. Now that is a big name in Pontiac racing & in bracket racing, especially. He raced several Pontiacs, using the name "Clinton Shaker". He apparently did some testing for ATI transmission products.

SS mag called him "Bracket Racing's Biggest Winner", back in '76.
