Modified Production

Midwest Auto Parts

 

Looks like a G***er to me, no front bumper & a straight axel front end...........

 

Look again at the front axle!!!!

 

Answered this in the Corvette thread but the Midwest car at this time (probably 64) ran in B/MSP. I do not believe it ever ran in any other cl*** (until 68 when they did away with MSP and the car ran in B/G). I also realize the car besides it is a 65 Chevy but they switched to a BBC in 65-this could be early 65 but I thought 64 (or the 65 Chevy is a new model and it was autumn of 64..

 

I don't know what picture you're looking at but I see a straight axel, Modified Production rules requires the stock upper & lower A arm suspension to be used. Like Jim Dillon said, the car is running in the B/MSP cl***...........

 

This was "noted" after my post.........

 

Bits N Pieces



Howdy Red Gary Burton

EDIT: from 56sedandelivery it is ROWDY RED

 

^^^^Those are some HEAVY DUTY towing tabs on the front of that 57^^^^! Wonder if they were his early version of a beam breaker at the finish line? And, the 56 is ROWDY Red. Keep up the good work just the same; everyone makes a mistake now and then, especially me. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

I'm not well-versed on Mopars, but I'm wondering if you made a typo and that's really a '58 Plymouth wagon?

 

LOL I sat there trying to figure out who he was saying Howdy to

Bowtie coupe: I believe a’58 has dual headlights.

 

A bit confused, so first theres this 'Bodies, engines, drive trains, ch***is, etc. may not be altered, modified, or relocated, except as noted in cl*** requirements.'

Then this 'However, year, make, and model are optional.'
So can it be any engine as long as its stock spec, so a stock big block in an A? And am I right in thinking drive shaft, rear end have to be from the vehicle, so in this case, banjo rear etc? Not a great combo I know, just using as an example for clarification.

 

Basically, the engine must be a production engine. Meaning it had to come out of a car that rolled off a production line. Same for the heads. But any modification was allowed to the engine/heads. Didn't have to have the same transmission or rear end that came in the car. The rear end had to be a "stock type" rearend. You could run a ratchet type posi, but no quick change or locked spider gear type rear end.
