"...But, are you sure which combo Arnie Toftland ran?.."

I think we covered this in another thread.

Arnie Toftland ran the "Viking" cars. One was a '70 GTO.

The other was apparently run as a '71 Bird, in H/SA. The pic I have of it & most every other '71 Bird Stocker I have a pic of, ran H/S or H/SA. BUT, as we've discovered, SOME years the class weight breaks were different, sometimes changing the class a car would run, from one season to the next. Also, it could have run a 400 engine, a D-port 455, or a 455HO round port engine. Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to find out this car also ran I/SA or G/SA, in certain years.
