Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers

OK guys, I just discovered yesterday that a lot of info & pics I'm lookin for is NOT in this Stock/SS section.

It's actually in a completely different section about NOSTALGIA Stock/SS.

If some of you guys told me that, in these Pontiac threads, and I just didn't get it, I apologize.

BUT, if a bunch of you guys knew that's where I needed to look, & just didn't tell me, why the heck not ?

Anyhow, I found this thread asking about a Jack Mullins built '73 SD455 SS Bird. Someone posted that they thought it was the John Clegg '73 SD455. But John bought his Bird new. Bob Michael posted that he had barely edged out Jack's Bird, in class, in about '76.

Glen Tinsley posted that he had bought Jack Mullins '73 Bird, raced it for a while & set some records with it. I've even posted some pics of it, at the Eastex track, IIRC. Anybody know what records he set with the car, when, & where ?

Well, Glen posted that he later sold the car to someone in Houston.

I was gonna ask Glen this question, but I see he hasn't posted here in several years. I think I posted pics of a white '73 T/A, that was for sale at the '78 Cajun Nats.

So, I'm wondering if anybody knows if this is that same car, or not. I mean, how many white '73 Birds were running SS, in div 4 in 1978 ? If nobody knows anything about this car, does anybody here know Glen Tinsley or how to contact him ?

OK, in getting these pics ready to post, I think I just figured it out. The permanent # was 41. Just looked at a pic we took of Jack Mullins' wagon in 1975. His # was 41. So, I think that settles it. Jack ran it at the Cajuns, with For Sale signs on it, & Glen Tinsley bought it.

Glad that one is finally solved. I've often wondered what happened to that car. Now I know, the rest of the story, or at least thru when it was sold in Houston. Have no idea if it has been raced since, or not.
