The Lingenfelter Green Monster was the epitome of Super Stock cool. He was one of the first to exploit the low compression smog motors with some pretty advanced camshaft designs. Incredible car, incredibly talented guy.

This car is still being campaigned to this day, by Russ Linke from Old Bridge NJ as a SS/JA, and still a bad-*** car.

Mr. Armstrongs machine is somewhat quick. 8.77 in bad air. What could it run in super air if he was to turn it loose without getting hit over the head by NHRA?????? --- and yes there are lots of great Vettes from yesteryear to present day.

X3 on these 3,
To add to what Gary W suggested, I'd include Larry Kopp's 61-62 "Gumout" D/MP Vette as well!
Thanks for the Pic's Joe!

I knew of what Leon was looking for back in 1974 and hooked him up with the owner.. It was an original 390 HP Silver Convert. with automatic. Leon bought it for something a little over $3000 and he ran B/SA with it in the early days of the rearanged stock elim. Later he ran AA/SA with a 435 HP combo in IHRA. After that Leon went to S/S after Ken Keir reworked the chassis and he hasen't looked back. Guess that makes me even older.....LOL.
