Also there was one other Pontiac that went farther than the GS 455's
and that was Dan Jensen's 71 T-37 455HO running a best of 13.24 -he was one
of the Final four . Jim defeated a 440 6 Pack Road Runner and Dan could'nt get by a
Hemi Road Runner . The Final had the 400 RAM AIR II Firebird defeating the
Hemi Road Runner - Would'nt have that been Cool - a All Pontiac Final .

That's pretty bad ass. I bet that would really piss off the Mopar guys.

Pretty cool - no ( LS6's - 427's - 454's ) stock engines - Pontiac prevailed .

Hey Rob- what's that second picture all about?
re: Eddie Hill- I wonder what a tech guy would say today about engines used as frame members?!

Got an ad from Dec. 1970, but never seen a picture - Jim Jokerst ran a couple firebird Funny cars before going to a Camaro body. Anyone got a picture or knows what became of it?


The second is off another site. Has Knafel’s car in the background on the left.


Thought the third was just kind of cool and also from the same 12/70 paper. How about $1K off a new left over 69 Daytona? Guess they didn't sell.

Possible, but not likely. Dick's car was originally white (as received from the factory).

Does it look like the wheelbase has been altered already in your pic? I can't really tell.
