The Burton car now has the alum head 428, I think.

Bob has had lots of Pontiac Stockers, for sure.
Not aware of his SS Pontiacs.

Don Kennedy’s first Pontiac Super Stocker, 73 Firebird 455 SD, was purchased from Bob Michaels.

Don, Fred Rector and I drove Dons ramp truck non stop, except for gas, from Farmington New Mexico to Lexington Ky to look at the car.
It was during the Kentucky Derby and there wasn’t a motel room to be found. Finally found one in Frankfurt and grabbed a few hours sleep. Bob met us at the track and made a pass with the car, went an 11.0 then he let Don make a pass. Don went a 10.99 and that’s all it took. Fred and I looked at each other and without a word walked to the ramp truck to get ready for loading the car. Bob wasn’t sure what was going on but we knew it was a sale! Long trip back, straight through again. 3000 miles round trip. Ah to be young! This was 1980 or 81.
Sorry Don, I couldn’t resist telling that story.

"...drove Dons ramp truck non stop, except for gas, from Farmington New Mexico to Lexington Ky..."

Love stories from the "good ole days". Would also LOVE to see the pics.

I'm probably not the only guy here who likes to see the old pics. I even like pics of the ramp trucks & open trailers the cars were hauled on.

" and hauling that yacht in a Bus! "

It was a different world from the motor homes & fancy enclosed trailers of today's racing world.

I always thought greg murname's 1967 GTO "limelighter" was a fast stocker and a beautiful car

put it in the wrong post

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

Yeah, The A-body was a record holder for a while. SS/MA I think. Also won class at the US Nats. Ran it with both a Lemans & a Grand Am nose. At least I assume it was the same car.

Runs the '74 GTO in a GT class. Guessing he runs a '74 400 engine in it, using what he's learned from running a 400 in the A-body.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

Not the fastest, but if there is a cleaner, more detailed Super Stock Pontiac than Div. 7s Art Petersons 68 or 69 GTO, I would be suprised.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

It's a nice '69.
