Re: 427/4 speed bench seat 68 Pontiac Strato Chief's?
Sweet! London really was a performance centre. It looks like all the dealers were in the game. Didn't Central Chev have a second location for their high performance offerings? I think a glass shop is there now. If anyone is from London, stop into the Cadillac Hummer dealer and talk to Doug. He lived that era and worked for Sinclair Pontiac at the time. He showed me some amazing photos from the day. So..it sounds like this dentist isn't the friendliest? Figures.. Another question-what was the highest HP 454 offered in the '70 full sized Canadian Pontiacs?
Someone needs to form a high performance Canadian Pontiac club online.. Todd

Hey Todd; You're correct, Central Chev's High Performance Centre was on the north west corner of Talbot & Fullarton Streets. It was originally a Fina Service Station. The attached photo is from a 1969 Wheelspin News. Dave Mathers (who now owns St.Thomas Dragway), Wayne Huber, Tim Wilkins & Gary Dayment were the high performane specialists and Don Brooks was the high performance technician. In 1970, Don moved onto St.Thomas Chrysler and campaigned a SS/DA 70 Hemi Cuda. Both Central Chev/Olds and London Motor Products were hotbeds for GM performance. .............Bill
