This doesn't sound like a vintage car to me! None of those mods were legal
before
1975. What are we doing , racing vintage cars or racing old cars with no
rules!
I am sure there is a proper place to race a car prepared like this, but I
wouldn't call it
a vintage car in the true spirit of the name. Regards, Greg Solow
