My 70 Chevy pick up I towed my RAIV car to the races with
It was once owned by Stephen pontiac, then by Gary’s of Bristol auto body, but I didn’t know Stephens owned it until after I sold it. So I towed the same race car with the same truck Stephen Pontiac did for many years and had no idea. Funny thing is when I got the truck, it wasn’t yellow. but when Stephen , used it to tow in 70 it was yellow and I painted it the same color yellow without ever knowing it’s history

I raced this truck at super Chevy at epping NH once and runner upped with it. Raced til 1am loved this truck w. It’s custom TUCK and ROLL real leather upholstery. My wife wanted AC so bad, we used to trailer home from E town in July or august and get stuck in traffic on the tappan Zee bridge at 1 am every single time . We’d have to turn the heat on full bore to cool the engine in traffic (use the heater core as extra radiator) and my feet would be burning on the floor. It’s 95 degrees out! Wife had her feet up in the seat giving me the I’m not doing this shit another time look! Those were the days!

The panel paint pictures are the truck when owned by Gary’s of Bristol In Frank Marata’s auto show. He also owned Connecticut dragway Then there’s pics, of how beat up it was when I got it, picture w my Porsche was when it was all apart in my back yard, in the back ground of the Porsche if you look close. Bed straight back on the Picnic table, body to the right w no fenders on it

I could post cars all night long but this was my race car after I retired my RAIV car. Was a 6 popper I found and turned into a turbo car. Every nut bolt and weld I put there. And I went online and taught guys how to turbo their Pontiacs with its build threads . Started this in about 2000 ish and started the turbo build thread on 2005 goal was to break into the 9s on pump gas and I achieved it, actually went 10.00 the first pass off the trailer with it and I got greedy w boost / tune and split the block that day car was a stick car initially , became a auto been together for about 16 years without a spark plug change and I won the Pontiac day at E town with it in the fastest class in 2009 car is still going strong ram 9.70s at 146 for many seasons on pump gas.

First group of pics will be build of the under side and body, second post will be the car coming together and finished hope you guys enjoy seeing how it was done

Here’s the rest car is mini tubbed the old school way before kits were made, hung 1/4s , dropped front x member , ladder bar rear , 12 pt cage , narrowed the rear, body / paint etc all done by me in my 2 car garage, designed and built the turbo set up and headers and built the engine. Doors, nose and trunk lid are fiberglass.

Hope you guys like it. I know it’s a little out of what’s typical here.

i know ive posted this picture on another thread before, but this is a very fitting thread for the picture.

69 firebird RA4 original owner took some pics the day he brought it home. we lived about 6 or 7 miles from the dealership so the car probably had around 15 miles on it at the most in this picture. not even a bug in the grill lol
