That white '62 SD with turquoise interior has to be this one right?

Ok I couldn't find the original article but I knew I saved the pics. It is the same car. I guess someone else saved the ad also.






Something makes me think it was in car craft or something like that.

Rocky Rotella wrote that article for HPP. If you look at the magazine, you'll note my name next to the old ad from Hot Rod, I scanned it and sent it to Rocky.

I found this link on a Buick site. I haven't gone through the whole thing but there's some cool ones. A Road Runner and a '57 150/210 along with some firebirds and stuff like that

Found this somewhere on the 'net. It's a photo I had never seen. I didn't even realize that Chrisman ever came to the east coat. The ET/speed in the caption is pretty much as quick as they ever got the twin-215 dragster to run.

Default Swiss Cheeze

Attached is a picture of Ray Bisig's 1963 Swiss cheese 1963 Catalina RAV powered race car. The car ran well into the 11's. Ray has always a been, run what you brung kinda a guy going fast on a limited budget. Ray is a long time family friend and a Pontiac purest. He was fortunate enough to get a hold of Pontiac history in it's glory day's. The was once one of Arnie's cars.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Didn't Pete discover the car in the late 60's from the original owners widowed wife? Pete worked for Pacific Bell at the time, in collections, and visited the widow for severely past due bills. She mentioned her late husband's Pontiac and Pete checked it out. He negotiated that he would cover the past due balance in exchange for the car.

GonicGM , That's the story I remember but I don't remember it being Pete McCarthy as the one that found it. But it was a pair of guys that found it, they decided to sell it after a while.

Jeff, did you make it to Pontiacs in the Park @ VMP last year? Dave Sano was there with his '73 "Screamin' Insanity" Grand Am making exhibition passes.
