New score from the Circle burner boys

Today I bought an old sprint car. These things have so much cool **** on them.

I chopped it up and came home with:
1 complete Winters quick change.
The big one with magnesium bells, huge Wilwood disks, and wide 5 hubs.

1 cowl steer power steering unit. Alum, self contained. The whole thing will fit under a dash and drive the steering through the cowl.

1 complete front end with a pair of coilovers, and a straight axle, huge Wilwood disks again.

A huge pile of Heim ends and aluminum round stock.

Here's a shot of my rear after pulling it out of my pickup. (I was alone)

These cars go obsolete very quickly. Take a look on the circle burner boards, you can find some great deals on cool ****.

 

I just parted one of these too and kept the 358 and ****** for my coupe. Lots of good stuff on these cars. Nice score.

 

The rear was solid mounted with a torsion bar. The rails were 2x3. It was a big block car.

 

It was a super. They were real common up and into the 70's. Many times they'd run against sprints. There are still a few places that run them, but they are pretty much extinct. I bet it was a cool car.

 

Here's some more poor quality pics.

The steering unit is sitting on the front end in a pile there.

The fuel cell and other quickie is from a different find, that was a dirt modified sb.

 

What you have there is a Northeast Dirt Modified. How do I know this? My HAMB handle should be a tip off. Go back and remeasure the frame rails, I bet they're 2x4, not 2x3.

You've got some good stuff there. That steering box looks like a Profile or Nields unit. Uses GM Saginaw guts. The front spindles and king pins are probably International Harvester or racing made look alikes (better). One rear axle is probably about 6" longer than the other. That long torque arm and Jacobs ladder are neat pieces. If ya' don't use the torque arm, I might be interested in it. Inside the Q/C you'll probably have a spool. I doubt it'll be a locker .

Good score. I'm jealous .

 

Hey Nice Score.
You cornering the North Jersey quickchange market?
I remember the super mod cl*** as a kid, I just liked the name.....and the sound.

I'm jealous...my only big adventure has been shoveling snow.......

later

 

Sounds right. It ran Wall Stadium in NJ. I was going to sell the whole thing to Dirtiest Devil to stick under the 34 5 window he just bought, but he didn't call me back in time, sorry Mel. I found myself standing there with a sawzall, a pickup truck, and another prospective buyer.

Now I need a good jalopy to use with it. The ch***is was too narrow to really use for any sort of sane street car.

I may sell most of this off -except the rear! I'll let you know first if I decide to.

 

Supermods were/are cool as can be! We are helping a pal turn one into a street legal scorcher.Nice score man!

 

Got any pictures of that project ?

 

Sure it didn't run at East Windsor, New Egypt or Bridgeport? They are (in a couple of cases, were) the dirt modified tracks in Jersey.

Wall Stadium is asphalt and they didn't run straight front axles or sprint car style steering boxes, but they do run 2" x 3" frames.

 

If you find another one PLEASE let me know about. I have always wanted a Super.They were very popular around New York and Jersey. A club called the Garden State Stock Car club headquarted in Brick NJ.. Bill Erb and a another named Force.
