That trophy and the one form the IHRA Nationals that year I gave top the owner of the 71 or 72 455 HO GT37 "Black Gold" car years ago. It had won class at those races also and since it had racing history gave them to him. And my parents were glad to get those giant things out of the living room!
Some of the engine pieces for the new 470" 409 were from that car. My parents were also glad for me to get those out of the garage!
Vinyl top was a weird one almost like convertible top material vs the GTO/Chevelle material.
