Is that an original or a new car built to old specs?

My friend Dave had to build his "old" car from scratch since the original was destroyed ( numerous times) from crashes.

Very cool

That is awesome, I would love to have the oportunity to take it for a spin.

This one is a original frame from the late fifties that was updated as it was raced. There are many spots on the frame that been changed over the years. Right now it has a pretty tame 383 with carb running on pump gas. It has no transmission only a clutch with a hand lever cause its only used to get it moving and its better just to push them off. In the first photo you can see the black hand lever on the far left. It can be started and driven with out a push truck thats why the clutch and not a in/out box.

This is mostly a trackday toy/show piece for my dad it will be at sandusky speedway in a few weeks for a for its first time out with my dad as the owner. My dad bought it in pieces, a guy had started to build it then deecided to sell it. Every thing on it is freashly rebuilt or new.

My dad has already found a different one he wans more that has lots more and better history. The other one is a big block car that has won the Oswego classic at least once.

My dad is real good friends with Gary Fedewa, he has several vintage cars one of which is a old Sammy Sessions indy roadster made into a supermod. Which has a alky injected aluminum big block with in/out box. I got to drive that for a few laps last summer. I can't wait to try my dads out.

I like the non winged sprints better but yeah they can get around a dirt track in a hurry. It's not uncommon to ride around the track on 3 wheels under acceleration.
