The first stocker that ever caught my attention was a 69 Firebird C/SA of Pete and Wolfe Flescher (?) back in the Motion Raceway Days

Cool Thread

Yeah, we talked about that Jack Mullins wagon, on the SS thread. We saw him race it, at a points race in Jackson, MS, in '75. I didn't know a Pontiac engine would wind that high, til I heard that 389 screamin. I loved watchin/listening as Jack snatched on the 4-speed. He was my 2nd Pontiac hero, after Truman Fields.

That year, he won the Sports Nats & the US Nats. At the US Nats, he beat the factory Mopar, driven by "Miss Mighty Mopar", Judy Lilly. And, your almost correct. The car had "Turk's Auto Parts" on the rear lower qrts.

I agree that Chris's Bird is awesome. And he's had a good season.

Not familiar with the '69 Bird you mentioned. I suppose the only '69 Bird Stocker I can think of that is racing now, belongs to John Schloe. There are probably others I just don't know about. The '68's have always been popular.

PS: Wish I'd had the money, when your car was up for sale. Sounded like a bargain to me. Seems i remember that the new owner won at least 1 race with it this season.

I'm posting another wagon on the SS Pontiac thread, that was a MANY time record holder.

Who knows about the last competitive 421SD Stocker, & when it last raced ?

Looking forward to seeing how the Warling 421 SD combination works out.

I have to mention 2019 Mile High Nationals Stock Champion Gary Riley`s 74 N/SA Pontiac Wagon. Cool car, and is owned by Norm Warling.

Awesome thread - lots of history and lots of great pictures. I’m glad to see so many deserving Pontiac racers get placed on this list like the Burtons and the Schloes. Both of those families have made my racing life such a blast with their advice, assistance, friendship and hospitality over the years (despite the fact that I’m a Chevy guy) especially the Schloes.


As far as the fast Pontiac guys - I’d like to add Bob Mulry (Mulry/Aceves Racing) and Bryan Phillips into the list.....lots of Class wins and records for those two teams....not to mention all around good people. This thread has been great - please add more pictures if you have them.

It looks much better in the sun, had to get it painted after it was called one of the ugliest stockers a few years ago in Vegas when it was still silver.

A picture of his car is in post #55, Michael Brand II in his light blue Firebird. Amazing racer, soon to be a father.

The 421 super duty motor will be in the Catalina soon. Norman Warling
