The car in that pic is not a Pontiac. Looks like maybe an Olds. I suppose it could be a Buick. I'm not that familiar with either.
Just Googled it. A '71 Cutlass Supreme SX has the long scoops.

442 also has the long scoops, but looks to have deeply recessed grills.

Thanks I dont know where I got Pontiac for the Wheeler car.
I thought that picture was a funny looking GTO.
The 1971 Indy narrative I have says I/SA=11.00
Toftland Pontiac win
Wheeler Olds R/U
No car years given.
From the picture & other info it looks like Wheeler is a
71 Olds 442 Convert, 455/340hp, W-25 OAI hood.
3744/340=11.01
For the winning Toftland Pontiac:
71 LeMans hardtop 455/325hp 3575/325=11.00 perfect fit to class
But the 455ho is a stronger engine, more underrated.
But to fit, the car has to be a heavy GTO Convert:
71 GTO Convert 455/335HO 3737/335=11.10
Without a picture or other info I'll just leave both of these guesses in.
