Thumbs up Looking for old MODIFIED PRODUCTION CORVETTE

We are looking for an old 1958 to 1967 Modified Production Corvette. Our goal is to have the car remain as it looked back in the Modified Production Days but just put good pieces in the drivetrain so we aren't blowing it to pieces every time we take it out to the track to detox from our work and race life. If you have had one passed down to you and would like to have it back on the racetrack in memory of your dad, brother, or uncle, give me a call. If you are one of the old guys (that we are lucky enough to still have with us that raced one back in the day) and have it covered up with piles of junk on it and would like to see it go down the track again to relive those high-revving GLORY DAYS, call me.

Is there any interest in resurrecting the Datsun that “the boys” cut their teeth on at the old Eastex dragway.

Our Dad bought a total of 3 of them. 1977 Datsun 810 wagon with inline 6 cylinder engine. Ran 19 seconds in the 1/4. The original one was orange and our Mom drove us to middle school in that one.

Unfortunately, those cars are long gone. I wish we would have at least kept one of them. How cool would that have been!
