'66, '67, '68 325 hp 396 Chevelle's had either a P/G or a Turbo 400 trans.
NHRA does not recognize any of those cars with a 2 speed auto transmission even though there were many of them out there. Len Imbrogno told me himself that he had one.
I don't know why anyone would want to use a Powerglide if he could use a 3 speed, but thats the way NHRA sees it! I think any car that was available with a Turboglide should be allowed to use a 3 speed automatic transmission.
