Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

The Nance is very nice and I would consider if I didn't already own this one. My car needs some work but Bob “Booby” Thompson at Jockos Sprint Parts said he could do the work over the winter so I...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

No reason for me to feel bad chopping it up further then. Got to have more leg room and a cage back on it.

I would still like to keep it looking like a sprint car( my daughter would kill me) but...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

I guess that depends on a persons opinion. People restore muscle cars with little more than an original firewall and someone will still buy it. My opinion on a race car would be at least the original...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

I took some more pictures, Let me know what you think and again I'm not really concerned about the year but I guess it would help in trying to find the history of the car.
I do appreciate the help!...

I never said Roy Caruthers has no idea what he was talking about when it was about the car. My comment was directed at this comment by him. "funny how people ask about things then don't want to hear...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

I'm not trying to offend anyone. I'm not new to sprint cars myself and never said anyone was wrong. I have been told by many people that the car could be 70's to 80's and have not doubted anyone. The...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

Funny how people like you assume they know what they are talking about.I already figured the car wasn't early 60's but figured if I posted it on several forums someone would recognize the car. I...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

Older than that for sure, It sat in the last shop for over twenty years and was told it sat for a very long time before he got it. The person he got it from started to make it a street car and never...

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

I've looked at 100's of pictures from that era and there were quite a few full cage cars with that body style in the late 60's and early 70's but most ran a hoop....

Re: ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

I showed pictures to a long time chassis builder/repairer and he said in the early 70's many tracks required a full cage while some only ran a hoop so many cars were built or modified to fit the...

ID Help, Vintage Champ Car

I bought this car in Muncie Indiana and was told it was a mid 60's car and possibly a Lloyd Shores car. I have my doubts that either one is correct. I already know the tank is not correct for the car...
