If I had more money, would love to build one of the 89 - 95 Thunderbird Super Coupes with the blown 3.8L V-6 as a stocker. Worked on a few of them when I was still wrenching. Fun car.

I Paul Wong is probably right on Both of them as I recall.

John was also first Super Stocker in the Sevens
with his other Buick GN (I believe only 206 CI). Kenny
built all of John's stuff and went to races with him sometimes.

I bought the White Stocker from John....It was a Rocket
but impossible to drive the finish for me with the Turbo.

I had a hard time staging it ..... I had to Spool it up with
the brakes as HARD as I could push for about 10 Seconds.
I knew I was finally ready to stage when my Socks were
Wet!

I sold it to someone in Arizona and only saw it race one time
at a Divisional in Phoenix= Never saw it again!
