Default Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers

Bob has had lots of Pontiac Stockers, for sure.
Not aware of his SS Pontiacs.

Don Kennedy’s first Pontiac Super Stocker, 73 Firebird 455 SD, was purchased from Bob Michaels.

Don, Fred Rector and I drove Dons ramp truck non stop, except for gas, from Farmington New Mexico to Lexington Ky to look at the car.
It was during the Kentucky Derby and there wasn’t a motel room to be found. Finally found one in Frankfurt and grabbed a few hours sleep. Bob met us at the track and made a pass with the car, went an 11.0 then he let Don make a pass. Don went a 10.99 and that’s all it took. Fred and I looked at each other and without a word walked to the ramp truck to get ready for loading the car. Bob wasn’t sure what was going on but we knew it was a sale! Long trip back, straight through again. 3000 miles round trip. Ah to be young! This was 1980 or 81.
Sorry Don, I couldn’t resist telling that story.
