Here are couple D stick videos of our car. The last one was in J Stick. 283 we had Dennis Winegar, our track announcer and former Rambler Scrambler Racer try out stickshift ps again after a 30 year hiatus

I have always really like this car, I got to ride in it back when Richard James had it, it was at Gainesville back in the eighties. I broke something and coasted off the other end and Richard came by and gave me a ride back to the pits. It had a six cylinder in it then and it was the loudest car I've ever been in.

There is a 63 jetfire in Col. for sale 6000 its an all there turbo &mtr w/120,000 mile & needs resto/paint .Is the front & rear suspension is like the 1964 Chevelle ? I've never seen one . It has alum heads & intake ? I'm guessing fuel inj. is like the vettes had ?

How about a 1961 Dodge Lancer with the 196 hp 225 c.i. 6 cylinder 4 barrel. Runs J/S at 2620#. You couldn't beat anybody, but it would be fun.

(hey Bender, you won't believe this but I stumbled across a "RUST FREE" 71 Vega GT in a container yesterday!!! I'm trying to convince the owner that he doesn't want to put a smallblock in it and streetrod it. I think that qualifies as a flyweight!)
My Vega wagon was 2420 with driver

Ken, it's got coils all the way around but I don't think it's the same as a 64 Chevelle. And no fuel injection. It's got a Rochester 4 Jet. As I recall, the whole engine is aluminum with steel sleeves.

‘63 Olds Jetfire....Hard to believe one lasted that many miles. https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0517-28...obile-jetfire/. They usually ended up parked due to way to many problems. A good looking little car though. F-85 body style. The Pro ET winner nationally this past year has one.

My pick for a fly weight would be a 57 Corvette with the 283 hp fuel injected motor. A natural D car that would go into C at 2717. Not cheap and I don’t know how competitive it would be, but definitely cool!

I have to wonder if NHRA would let you use the alcohol injection? If you look at the Mecum pictures, you can see the alcohol tank on the drivers side of the radiator.
