Keith is that a 73 SD455 T/A on the cover of SS and the 63 Tempest looks like it could be the MT SD421 that Jim Christensen bought without the 749 A/FX #'s on the door.

Scanned this pic in.

Keith, Those pics of the George Delorian 63 tempest are very cool! I've never seen a pic of that car from "back in the day" would it be possible for you to Email me both of those pics? I'd like to see them full size! My email is [email protected]

Keith- thanks for posting those four photos of Mickey, Jack Chrisman, and the Pontiac hemi dragster. That's the first time I've seen them- were they in a publication or do they belong to some individual? Where were they taken- the landscape doesn't appear to be Raceway Park where they won the '62 Nationals in Indy?

Wareagle, if you read the section about the 63 SD Tempests in Pete's book(where your pic came from) it says the 63 your refering to was destroyed in a trailering accident in the 60's.

Yes - those are from an individual's collection that I lifted from another site (...I hope that's ok...). I do not know where they were taken but I could ask and find out.

Sorry Wareagle, I didn't realize you had asked a question:

Not sure on that T/A; It was something I just grabbed from the pile and I don't think there were any additional details given.

Re: the '63 Tempests - they all pretty much looked the same, except for a piece of masking tape stuck here or there.

George's car stayed local in Michigan for a while and at one time was owned by collector (and Pontiac employee) Dimitri Toth. We had an opportunity to buy it probably in the mid 70's, for about $3600, but decided that was too much to pay since it was completely disassembled.

It eventually found it's way to Arizona, to the McGroder collection, where the restoration was completed. From there it went to Minnesota where it is owned by "F.E.". The photo shown was taken by Guy Pauquette at an annual show held there.

Tell me something I did'nt know.

billygoatii · 01-24-2008, 10:28 PM

Here are a couple of old stock car pics I found.

Jerry H. · 01-24-2008, 10:57 PM

A little off the subject and not Pontiac related, but here is a pic of a Pit Pass circa 1956 at Gainesville Speedway (GA). It's under Lake Lanier now. Also is a pic of my dad's 40 Ford that he drag raced there. He was one of the first in our area to install a SBC in a 40 Ford. These pics are just before he was killed in the car in July of 1956.

Here's a few Eddie Hill pics........not sure if some might have been posted already.

misterp266 · 02-02-2008, 05:52 PM

The car that made me fall in love with '63 Catalina wagons!

misterp266 · 02-02-2008, 05:58 PM

M/T dragster with cool wagon tow vehicle probably in his front yard. Notice the mag hanging off the front of the engine....anyone ever see that setup before?

b-man · 02-02-2008, 07:11 PM

A dozen Poncho engines oughta do the job, much better than a measly two.

Steve Barcak · 02-02-2008, 07:53 PM

Looks mighty strong there b man. but, I would hate to have the job to run the valves and do the tune up on that baby! Imagine checking all exhaust temps and having to tune nozzles on that many cyls.....and then having to turn it around for the next round. Imagine the bottom end guys duties. Probably would need6-10 bottome end guys to keep on top of it.
I guess this it the ultimate response to maximum displacement!
