GTO Stockers

Does anyone have any vintage photos of GTO Stockers that they would care to share?

Thanks.

This 1970 GTO belonged to Ron Sanders. They dialed off the national record at the time the picture was taken, either 1972 or 1973. It was also during the "pure stock" era in NHRA. We were going to go to a points race in Virginia that year to set the record, but it got bombed a week before by someone in another division, and it was out of reach for a while.

Thanks guys. Please keep them coming.

Tony, was the 1970 a real Judge? Do you have any more photos of it?

The reason that I am asking for these is I have some GTOs that I am planning to restore. I want to build them as "nostalgia" stockers.

My favorite - Rocky's Goat - at my favotite track. Cecil County Drag-O-Way. Remember those rear tire pressures - this looks like less than 10 lbs.
