Yup, ditto, looked like a pretty solid car, seems a shame to hack it up for a race car...

No.... it had some rust issues and body damage, also the big problem it didn't have any parts. If it did have it I would have put it on the street. So don't start crying over a damn oval getting hacked up for a racecar.

I saw that car about 4 years ago, maybe 5. I think it still has ribbed doors. (i know I can look at the pics to make sure, but I'm too lazy.)
