Not in '79.

Bill's Camaro was broke, he was driving a Vega, per a mutual friend.

No debate here, without evidence..I don't save a bunch of old junk.
I would defer to Travis Miller..Hope he sees this.

Thinking about this..I know R,T, U were the same breaks in 1979.
But we know Steve Tarrance ran X/ Stock with a 6 banger...So assume W could have been at least a 6...Don't remember about the V8's then.

I can't answer that. But, as with most old Stockers, there are probably some here who can provide all the history of most any car that ran fairly good, for a reasonable length of time.

I remember reading the history of some cars on the Best Pontiac Powered Stockers thread, which included maybe a half dozen or so different owners/drivers. There is so much info in that thread, I couldn't hope to remember it all.

I was just going thru a few pages this morning, & read some stuff I'd forgotten. Even read where some had re-posted some info, which they could tell I'd already forgotten.

So, the history of this car may have been posted somewhere back in that thread. If anybody here knows of such info, please post a link to it.

I didn't know MOST of these cars/drivers. Never even heard of many of 'em, prior to the Pontiac Stockers thread. So, I've probably learned more from the thread than most here. It's been fun !
