Anyone Have 68 US Nationals Pics? 68 RAII Bird Pics Needed
Fellas -
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but looking for pics of a 68 Ram Air II Firebird raced at the US Nationals in 1968. It was 4 sp car, likely red at the time, but could have been black. Raced by the Frame Brothers, sponsored by Wells Pontiac in Richmond, Indiana. Might have also been raced at Columbus OH in 1968. Please let me know if you have pics or info. Thanks Scott

Jim Mino probably knows about most of the RA II birds out there. He currently has some ads in the Performance for sale/wanted section. You might PM him.

Truman Fields is on this board. Don't remember his screen name, but as a kid I sure remember watching him race the "Hard Times" Firebird at Edgewater.

Ayup. I fondly remember Truman racing the "Hard Times" Firebird at Edgewater when I lived in Cincinnati. He's a member here.
Hey Truman, you still have that car?

Found a little more info on the car, but no pics.
This is from 1968 Indy - #1085 Entry: Frame Bros Pontiac Driver: Dick Frame, Richmond IN Car: 68 Pontiac Someone recommended looking for pictures on Yahoo Stock SS Forum or Facebook and try Mid Size Flyers but for the life of me I can't find either one. Scott

Kind of a shot in the dark but you may look for some old National Dragster papers from that era.

Car was also raced at Tri State, Muncie, and 5 Mile. Spoke with Truman; he saw a red RAII bird racing at Tri State; has to be the same car. He didn't have any more info.
Truman sold one of his cars to Todd Hoven in NJ; other one went to Jim Mino. Anyone have contact info on the McKinneys from Richmond, IN? Thanks Scott

John Edwards, that owned Edwards Pontiac in Canton, OH raced a 68 RA II Firebird and I think there were a couple of other Dealers in the Cleveland Zone that also raced one. I ordered one as a Co. Car and when I contacted John he wanted to drive it. We went for a ride on Cleveland Ave. in Canton, OH. and he drove it like on a drag strip. I was surprised we didn't get a speeding ticket. When I was due to change to my next car it was sold to Knafel Pontiac in Akron, OH as Joe Felber, Sales Manager agreed to buy it when I was done with it. Mine was loaded with almost every option, close ration 4 spd. performance axle ratio, etc. One of the perks back then being a PMD Service Rep.
