I can't imagine any 2 speed being very fast with 1965 type converters.
I've seen 2 speed Buick Stockers but they had the switch pitch converters. Pontiac didn't use it.

Mark,
You seem to know the AHRA rules. The car in the picture does not have the original front bumper. How can it run stock?

"Formula 3 would be 2 bbl. I believe..."

Yeah, but the '65 Goat just has B/SA on it. ASSUMING that was for when that car ran at an NHRA track. Don't know.

"...Dick Agee drove the Thompson GTO to a national record.
Agee's official elapsed time in the 1965 GTO was 13.30 seconds..."

So, when & where did this happen ? Is the class listed ?

Honestly don't know.
When we first started going to Epping ,they had a modified version of AHRA Stock that they ran for the eliminator. Some of the stuff looked pretty strange to us.
Maybe someone from up that way could chime in.
