I hunted for one for years!

I sort of remember that, but my main takeaway is how bad things got back then. When the engineers actually designed something that couldn't handle a full-smogged 305 HO.

Isn't there a rule about no truck rear ends...?
Thought I read that somewhere...
Besides the weight factor, probably better than a 9" except for ease of gear changes, may as well stick with the 12 bolt...

Now maybe a 9" housing with 12 bolt chunk...
I could do that...!

A VIN means nothing. That does not make it a street car, nor does it make it meet the spirit or original intent of the rules to allow vehicles to race in Stock Eliminator.


While I can appreciate your efforts, and I congratulate you on your success, the car belongs in a Factory Stock class.


Let's be honest, these cars (the factory race cars) are only in existence because SOME OEM's will ONLY participate IF they are given a ticket to DOMINATE a class.
