Don Breen was running a '71 Formy in SS. He was mentioned as winning a SS race, in a Lunati ad.

Also have a pic of another '72 SS Formy, with Burnett Pontiac on the side. You can tell this was back before the big tire SS cars. I think the tire rule was that you could run the biggest tire that would fit in the stock wheel well.

Assuming all these cars were running the 455HO engine.

ID:	530616 Don, I updated the thread with this car unit, 70-72 GTO section. My good friend owned from 1980-2012. Best thing about it was.....I got to work on it, he was getting it ready to sell. Thankfully it’s in good hands, now!
