OLD Modified Corvettes - Page 2

Am not certain if this car qualifies an "old modified Corvette" but the Engels Corvette now has the NHRA permanent number assigned to Angelo DeCarlo.

Thursday September 03, 2020 at the US Nationals.

Jim, is there any updates on the Corvette of Terry. It would be very cool to see that car completed and on display.

Here is an old thread on CR that has lots of old footage from modified back in the day.

Two really sweet hot rods right there. Two racers not to far from showroom stock, I know if they were mine....they would have tags on them as well....Cars like those two deserve more fun than just a quarter mile at a time.....but definitely some quarter mile time for those babies.
Again, love those two!

Look who was "Best Engineered Car" award winner at the Las Vegas Divisional points race last weekend. Angelo DeCarlo from out Chicago way, with his 63 SS/HA Corvette entry....Sweet car!

I don't want to "discredit" those guys from the nice car they have.....but an SS/HA is a loooong way from Modified eliminator .......without the manual trans , 10,000 plus RPMs.........its just not the same.
