The "tigers revenge" GTO @ new England dragway.

[85gtkid]

I have unleashed the photo on the New England Dragway history group on FB. We'll see what they can come up with. I would remember a Pontiac with a Cobra Jet hood scoop. --- That photo struck me as later than the early 1970s, but not sure.

Thanks allot Brian.It might be later then what Im thinking. I know it would mean allot to him if anything showed up about the car. He also did some racing with his cars to back in the 80s and 90s.
This is him in his Boss in about 88 or so.


This is me and I think it was the same day.


These were good times man. You could go to NED on Saturday and there would be tons of cars and it was nothing to see 10 to 15 Grand Nationals. I really miss those days.

I I would remember a Pontiac with a Cobra Jet hood scoop.

Not to contradict the announcer, but that scoop looks too large to be a CJ scoop. It struck me as more of an '67-style L88 scoop (without the "stinger" of course)

I have Tigers Revenge. I bought it from your friend's Dad on Jan 4, 1974. It has been my prized possession ever since. It is almost exactly as I bought it with a few changes and updates. It is still "original". I have cared for it so that it has never been restored. If you search on Hagerty's site you will find a story that will fill you in on the history.

I can imagine how your friend feels. I saw him and his sister hanging from the roll cage when I went to see the car. (I did pull the roll cage out a while back). But I never expect to part with the car. Its been part of my life since I was 17. At you can let him know it has been cared for.

Welcome, Tiger'sRevenge! Always great to have the owner of a really neat car on here. Any more or less current pics?

Hi that link to the Hagerty story is pretty recent: https://www.hagerty.com/yourstories/...20140808092221

Although I did finally put a stock hood back on last year (that was a 1967 big block Corvette scoop). Here is a current picture AND one from back in the day with my 67 GTA and my friend's 67 GTX.

Thank you so much for the reply. I have told mick (original owners son) and he is pretty excited to know that it still alive and well. He has some documentation and all the trophies the tiger had won back in the day. If you could please email me so I could put you in contact with him that would be real nice and mean the world to not only him but his mom and dad also. Thanks again
