Default Potential Stocker ?

This was posted on the Craigslist thread. Looks like a possible potential competitive Stocker. Could run the small cam 400, @ the 260hp NHRA factor. Since it will likely disappear from Craigslist soon, I'll say that it is a '77 Lemans wagon, which looks to be restorable.

There have been lots of '77 Birds run good with this engine. Also some '77 Lemans, GP, & even Catalina Stockers have run good with it. Everything except the Birds run at 260hp.

Gary Riley proved that you can still win a big race with a Pontiac wagon, when he won the '19 Mile-High Nats, in an All-Pontiac final !

This also reminds me of the Tons-a-Fun '72 Lemans wagon. Charlene Wood won the Grand Nationals, Canadian nat event, as well as some smaller races in the states. I think she also set nat records with it & got several nat event class wins. They had 2 different wagons, one with a reg Lemans front, and one with the T-41 front. They also ran both a 455HO engine & a D-port 455. You can read their story in the 2nd part of this article.
