*** This is not my car and not even sure if it is real **
This looked to be a very interesting car from the way it reads. I do not know anything about this car and have no ties to it. It may even be a scam as there is no phone number on it, but thought someone may know more about it

Very cool and historically significant 1961 Pontiac Safari Super Stock with great paperwork and race history. The car was campaigned by Frank Lumley and Ron Sanders and was very successful and well known. The car set and held 5 National Records and was featured in Super Stock and Drag Illustrated Magazine back in 1969. Car is completely documented with a stack of papers including many early pictures and time slips, hand written racing notes from the driver, Super Stock Magazine issue from 1969, and owner history.

The engine is a bored and balanced 4-bolt main 455 (now 468ci) and was built by one of the most respected Pontiac guru's in the world Scott Tiemann. The car has a built turbo 350 transmission with a 4.88 rear end along with a line lock brake system.

The car was completely restored in 1999 and the restoration has held up very well. The car in very good condition and could be street legal or nostalgia race ready. This fully documented 5x National Record Holder is a great investment.

I would really love to have that car. But i can't figure out why would anyone run a 455 with 4.88 gears.

Thats a very fun car to drive at the strip. Always draws a crowd-and is around 1.60-1.65 foot times. Ran low 13s when I had it. Never had to do anything to it-put in fuel and check air pressure-thats it.
