Bump for more cars.

Just looking to add to the list.

Looking for a back half, street type car, to run 10.0s.

Or a 78-81 Lemans/Grand Am, granny car, with body in good condition, so we could build from there.

Thanks

Any interest in an 86 aero coupe.

"...A Super Stocker would probably work..."

I suppose you already know about this one, since it looks like your ad, in that section.

And I suppose you've already checked out Racing Junk .com

Never heard of this site. But there is an '83 back half Bird roller listed. Don't even know if Birds are legal under the rules you'll be running.

"...Looking for a back half, street type car, to run 10.0s..."

OK, you want a "back half street type car", with a professionally built cage. So, exactly how stock street type does the rest of the interior of the car have to be. What about glass body parts & lexan windows ?

Sounds to me like a Super Stocker fits your description.

I'd check with John or J.B. Clegg, in South Texas. They've been doing some serious SS racing with 2nd & 3rd gen Birds, for a long time. May have or know of something that would work for you.

If I were going to pursue the idea of a Super Stocker, I'd try to get in touch with some of the Pontiac SS racers, who are out at the National and div races every week.

Most of them are far too busy racing, to spend time on the forums. But, they are the guys who know what's out there. And, if a 3rd gen Bird is OK, that opens up the possibility of a Bird that is set up for Chevy power. No big deal to switch it over to Pontiac. And there are probably way lots more Chevy powered 3rd gens out there to choose from.

It's near the end of the season now. So, there will be lots of cars coming up for sale. Some of these Pontiac SS guys might be able to put you in contact with some possibilities, before they appear in classified ads.

A few names that come to mind are: Vic Santos, Peter & Sam Biondo, Mike Morgan, Greg Meyer, Scott & Brad Burton, Bill Rink, Carroll & Norman Warling, Leo Glasbrenner.

I know that the Vic Santos 3rd gen was for sale a while back. Seems I remember that he loaned it to somebody else for a race earlier this year.

Peter Biondo probably knows more GT SS racers than just about anybody.

Scott Burton built a 3rd gen that both he and Brad drive. They do a lot of racing from the Midwest to the West coast. I've read that they are real nice guys, and have helped a lot of other Pontiac racers. I think Norman Warling lives close to Scott. And Norman posts here sometimes. So, it might be a good idea to PM Norman and let him know what your lookin for. He can pass the word on the Scott & Carroll.

On the East coast, the Stock racers Dave & Dean Ribeiro, Adam Strang, & Todd Hoven, make a lot of big races. They may be able to help. I think Adam & Todd post here occasionally.

There are some of these guys, along with Bob Michael, Bob Mulry, & Brent Flynn, who post over on the Class Racer site. Mark Yacavone is another guy who posts over there, who knows a lot of racers. I'd post a wanted thread over there, in one of the main sections. That way, a lot more guys would see it than just posting in the classified section.

And I'd try to PM or in some way contact these guys I've mentioned. Hey, some guys will try to help other racers & some won't. The more you have trying to help, the better your chances of finding the right car.

Some of the Pontiac class racers also post on the Pontiac Drag Racers Facebook page. That is another good place to post your wanted ad.

Another guy who might could help is Tim Gillespie. He's had several Stockers and a Pontiac powered S/G car. He goes to some big races and probably knows lots of racers.

Also thought of another good contact--Randi Lyn Shipp.

She makes all the National events, and probably knows most everybody running Stock & Super Stock, on a national level.

https://www.facebook.com/rlshipp

I noticed that she's on the SS pre-entry list, for the up-coming national event, driving a 4th gen Bird, with 428 Pontiac power. But, it's not listed as a GT car. So, I don't know if it really has Pontiac power or not.

J.B. Clegg is also on the list, with his 9 sec SD455 '74 Bird.

Lynn McCarty & family also race Pontiac powered GT cars. They may know where something is.

Don't know if this Bird is clean enuff for any of you guys to build up or not. I've built low budget bracket cars with worse.

How bout a 2nd gen ?

Or, a 3rd gen ?

Not a backhalf car, but if you just want something cheap, to run 10's with, my bracket bird will do it, with the addition of some Cal-Trac springs & bars, plus some better axles & C-clip eliminators.

The roller is only $3500, or less drag tires/wheels for $3000. That gives you lot's of room to make upgrades & still not have big $$ invested.

Hey, for this price, you can probably race this car, & build something else for the street. Hey, it's just one option.
