Sure think that the "Monster Mash" deserves Top 10 Status! Grumpy always said that it put him on map.

As impressive as those Pro Stock cars were, since this thread is titled "Top 10 Significant S/SS cars, I would replace the P/S cars with; Jere Stahls Hemi Plymouth,
Jim Van Cleves 427 Fairlane (my Ford & Div. 6 bias showing?), John Calverts 68 428 Mustang (a winner in Stock and S/S), Kevin Helms 69 Camaro, and since I believe Ralph Ridgeways 55 Chevy was actually a Modified Production car, I switch it for.........Ben Wenzels one owner Z/28 Camaro

I hope we can accept Jack Mullins' wagon ..It only ran in the 12's though.

While we're at it.. Bad Buddy Ingersoll's 350 Olds Cutlass.
