Sorry if double post...seems the other went into the wind? .

Anyway, the car sounds very cool Mark...lay some pics on us if you can! .
Nice user-name too although w/ a famous name like Hodges, well I'd expect a different brand?! .
(Astro-Jets were the Canadian-Pontiac Mk1V Turbo-Jets...air cleaner stickers and all!)

I think L36's were the highest HP 'advertised' 427's available in '66-'69 Canadian Ponchos but the L72's flew as an order (except in '67 of course) since they were really a Chevy chassis w/ Poncho clothes. .

Keith, is that 68 in good shape? I'm partial to the 69s as my dad had a 350 Strato Chief 2dr hardtop. I'd love to find one with a big block- any 69 Canadian Pontiac!

There are a couple big block Beaumonts on this site but I don't know of any members with BBC Strato Chiefs or any other big Canadian Pontiac.

I think that's Carl Hick's car...his user name here is 427StratoChief. .

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...at=showmembers

His car sounds wicked especially if it is an original L72 piece although the picture link note makes it sound like it may be otherwise? .
Anyone know him or his car? .
