Super Stock SS/C SS/D vintage racer
I recently bought this racer (See Attachment) from a gentilemen in Nebraska who drove the car in 1969 through 1974 for a Nebraska Chevy Dealer. This Dealer was Mac's Chevrolet / Pontiac in Crete and Al MacNamara. The car was bought new off the show-room floor in 1969 just in time to go NHRA racing. He campaigned it with great success. He raced with a 4 speed and a turbo 400. He also made a clutch driven turbo 400 and raced that configuration also. He then sold the car after 1974 season to the next owner. This owner raced the car on and off, but mostly drove it on the street, he worked for H & H Chevy. He grenaded the engine in a flywheel incident that pushed up off the crank and sliced threw the block. The 4 speed bell housing was blow-proof and feet were saved. A iron short block L-88 was installed next. Some time in the '80's the original owner bought the car back stipped off all the stickers and cared for the paint. This paint cost around $1500.00 in 1969. He also removed the L-88 and installed a LS-6 short block with the orginal iron 840 heads and aluminum intake and one of the orginal B&M turbo 400 with a brake.
The history is deep with this racer and I plan on preserving the best I can.
By the way this car came with lot of engines, engine parts, transmissions, heads, carbs and other vintage go fast parts.
