Default Re: Best B.O.P. stock and super stockers of all time

Well, I've pretty much covered Pontiacs up thru the last year of an auto trans equipped 400 engine, in '78.

But, that leaves all the Pontiac powered GT Super Stockers. Since Don Kennedy helped write the GT rules, I'll mention his GT cars 1st. He had a 3rd gen Bird, with SD455 power. Then went to a 428 powered Sunfire, which he still races. It runs low 9's. It got the GT/EA class win @ Indy, in 2019.

Then, don't know if these cars qualify for this thread, or not. They're Pontiac powered, but the bodies are Cobalt. Robert Cruzen ran 8.90 to win the GT/AA class at Indy, in 2016.

The other one belongs to Irvin Johns. Todd Frantz drove it to the Indy '19 GT/FA class win. This year at Indy, Irvin was #20 @ .956 under, & won the GT/EA class, in an All-Pontiac 428 powered final.

I suppose the most well known & winningest Pontiac powered GT cars are the Phil Monteith "Hatari" Birds. Phil had a 3rd gen. IIRC, it ran a 6X head 400. Peter Biondo drove it to his 1st SS championship. It was sold to Bruce Fulper, who won class @ Indy, with it.

Then Phil built a 4th gen. Peter won 2 more championships with it. Others have driven it, also.

Phil also provides Hatari Pontiac power for the Pickett & Agneta 4th gen. John Agneta currently drives the car. It is said to be the former Johnny Duncan car.

Leo Glasbrenner ran a 4th gen for a few years.

Greg Meyer has run a nice 3rd gen for several years.

Will use 2 posts for these GT cars.
