Default Vintage Wangers Article !!!

Posting this in the race section as it deals with Super Stock Pontiacs from the glory days.

I recently purchased a February 1963 issue of Popular Hot Rodding magazine for an article on the Pontiac XP-400 show car, not knowing there was another gem of an article penned by Jim Wangers in the same issue. Given the deadlines for publishing, I'm pretty certain Jim penned this article prior to GM's announcement of their pullout of racing in January of the same year. Nonetheless, what a great find. I scanned it to share with everyone, hope it turned out.
