Love me some vintage Dirt Modified.

Actually, most any vintage short tracker that runs big meats, and somewhat, somehow resembles a vintage automobile. 

I want plate and daily almost every one of them...

Now, there's a coincidence. The first "vintage dirt track modified" picture just happens to be of Gerald Chamberlain, a guy my father-in-law crewed for in the '70s. 

Also, depending on the year that photo was taken, the powerplant for the 76 may have been a 427 SOHC.

That's incredibly cool. 

I don't have much experience with these cars, but I love the form<function of the mods, and the fact that they are light, powerful, and have plenty of tire for handling .

Now, to make them turn in both directions...

Like this? 

In reply to snailmont5oh :

Yup, that car was one of my main inspirations. 

The body on this car is based on a cadillac seville 

Kenny welds batmobile was very controversial and resulted in many rules change. It’s supposed to be a lincoln town car.

Some of the local tracks hold vintage events.

you mean like this?

Or this?

or?

or even...

I agree.  I want one also...

The second car was Charlie Jarzombek, one of my favorite drivers as a kid.

Making them turn right isn’t too hard;

I grew up around circle tracks, mostly dirt, in the 60's and 70's. Some tracks didn't allow kids in the pits so my Dad used to drop me at the front gate from the time I was about 5 years old so being by myself with nothing to do I would sign up to sell programs.

I don't race any more but my wife and I go to a few of the local dirt tracks to watch and I was just explaining to her how dirt modifieds used to be old coupes and coaches but that changed in the 70's when the Gremlin body, like in your 4th pic, became popular.

Like any good 80s sports story Kenny Weld and Gary Balough doing some time due to coke though they weren’t using but selling to help pay for their addiction.  While a guest of the graybar hotel Weld learned CNC machining and went on to start Weld Tech.

In reply to noddaz :

I like them all.  Although my love for Sprints and Midgets on the streets has waned for some reason. 

And since you opened the door to full bodied 'trackers:

I wouldn't mind seeing these two on my commute to work.  

The other thing i like is the fact that older cars that aren't cost effective to restore up in the rust belt, and wouldn't be that cool even if they were, have a new lease on life. Wheelwells wiped out on your Dodge Dart??

No problem, as it is going to get slammed to the ground, and finally get taken seriously. 

I used to hate Second Gen Camaros growing up, but who couldn't love a streetable version of this??

Is the top picture a Falcon or Comet?  The tail lights and rear quarters imply that to me...

I'm a MoPar guy at heart, but this would make the purists start attacking the old mill with torches and pitchforks. And make the other Charger sheeple cry because it doesn't have an 01 on the doors.
