Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
If you save the images to your hard drive and view the pages with your photo viewer and zoom in you will be able to read these just fine. I could not get Photobucket to resize them large enought to be read within the body of the post.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Dajudge... It's not working. If you can send me bigger files, I can load up.
Who are the people involved with these cars? Tom Goad had a car like that? [email protected]

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Another page from Drag Racing July 1969. I believe I made the mistake of saying this car may be blue, some one told me a while back it was red. I hope that's right, hard to tell from black and whites. And I think some one else may have posted this particular picture some time back.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Sorry about that the pics are 6 megs a piece. They took about 5 minutes apiece for photobucket to upload. I will resize and do another upload tonight when I get home as the scanned images reside in my home PC.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
RAV related, Brian Steinbrick wrote an email to better explain the letter sent to his father from GM. Has some very cool history in it.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Steve, it was probably me that stated that the RAV car from Drag Racing Magazine was red with white stripes. I based this on a comment in the article that the car had a 350HO in it before the RAV transplant. The Super Stock Magazine issue had this 69 Firebird 350HO on the cover (in color), and this appears to be the same car as the RAV version. It was red with white stripes, white accents on the hood, lower rear quarter panels, and tail panel. The test of the 350HO car was before the RAV test.
It appears the car was built as a 350HO, not a 400, based on the fact that it did not have the Firebird 400 chrome grille trim surrounds, and the Firebird 400 only Pontiac arrowhead emblem on the front bumper. It appears that the ROYAL lettering on the door changed slightly between these two tests. But the miscellaneous contingency stickers over the rear wheelwells, and a few more on the fenders, are in the exact same positions between the two versions of this car, and the paint job is exactly the same (minus the 400 hood on the RAV test). Therefore, I'm pretty sure these were the same cars. Personally, I like the 69 Firebird 455HO PMD Engineering Test Car. That was Carousel Red with 455 emblems.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
Mike
The reason the lettering changed was because Ace would only allow a certain variation of the team name to be carried over to George's efforts, so I was told. But yes I do remember now that it was you. I would love to see color photos of both the cars you are talking about, I only have b/w copies of the magazine articles.
