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

. Is it the one Joe had?

Yes, the specific one we are looking for on the FB post "Modified Eliminator - Gone, but not forgotten" page did belong to Joe. I know you remember those days!

If we cannot locate that specific car, we are still wanting to buy a car from that era.

It would be cool to see the old WOP SHOP resurrected? What about the sister cars of Tommy Costales’s 1984 SG Champ or David Hubbard’s end up?

Re: Looking for old MODIFIED PRODUCTION CORVETTE

I will ask David if he has any idea what/where this car is. Now that would be cool. Phish

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.

Awesome idea, can’t wait to see how this comes together.
Whatever you find just make sure it has the proper number of working pedals under the dash for an old modified production car….
None of that launching the car with your finger and holding on BS!

Re: Looking for old MODIFIED PRODUCTION CORVETTE

Engels Bros be my first call..... they have quite the collection...

Re: Looking for old MODIFIED PRODUCTION CORVETTE

So, Gary you're going to let Brad talk you into putting a 4 or 5 speed automatic in it. Today the clutch pedal is just a big two step button. LOL BP
Can't wait to see whatever you end up with. I'm sure it will be sweet..

If anybody would know of one it would be Doug or Lynn, if they don't already own it.

Re: Looking for old MODIFIED PRODUCTION CORVETTE

My all time favorite C-2 modified Vette belonged to Jimmy Faul out of Div 4, super clean and nice. Jerry Coley had it for a while {borrowed} and ran it over here some back in the day. I have to wonder where its at.
