I have it. It is a great book in that it provide tremendous insight to some specific cars. The person who wrote the book is also responsible for the Vintage Trans-Am group in addition to owning several cars. I highly reccommend it for anyone who is interested in what reallly wnet into the cars...

It is a little "tricky" with original cars vs "tribute" cars vs period correct vehicles, but a lot has to do with what your intentions are. I have some contacts within the series and am discussing how best to prepare/present a car for this series. Worst case scenario, I will just run with the...

Our intent is to participate in the Historic Trans Am series that runs in the US. I am speaking with a few competitors who currently run this series. I currently run in the Monoposto 70 and BOSS series. The cars I currently run have their FIA papers and/or Passport (one car was actually accepted...

Hi Jari, Great to hear from you. We are currently performing the final assembly on a 1964 Autodynamics Formula Vee for the 50th anniversary celebration. In addition I have some work to perform on a March 783 Formula 3 car. We picked up a 66 Barracuda, 273 4bbl, 4-speed car and it is...

Thanks guys, With the above info, I think we can start to evaluate what we need to do to build a car. Our shop is just out side of Detroit so we have a lot of resources at our disposal. Keep the info coming and when we start the project I will post on this site. Thanks, Chris...

All this is great info. We have a lot of experience with Formula cars and Sports Racers, but not MOPAR vehicles, so every bit of info with regard to transmissions, engines, rear ends, etc. is awesome. We have two projects to go before we can get this one started, but I need to start my...

Thanks, Every bit of info helps. We have a few vintage cars already and am (unfortunately) quite familiar with how rules are interpreted... (only cheating if you're caught takes on a whole new level) With that said, I would like to be as close as possible to the original rules. I will...

Hello All, Our team is considering building a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda to run in the Historic Trans Am Series. From some limited research it appears that 3 cars were built and raced. The "factory" car was run by Team Starfish with Scott Harvey as their driver. In addition to Scott Harvey...

Does anyone know if this would work in a 66 Barracuda? Has anyone put a rollbar/cage in a Barracuda, while retaining the "stock" interior? Chris Robson

Lee definitely knows his stuff and Ted has built his share of engines for me. My cars are maintained and prepped by Adams Racing in Michigan. Most of my engine work is done by Illmor and the Gearboxes by Pratt and Miller' Dan Binks. I have two other cars I am trying to get finished, but with...

I have a 78 March 782 Formula 2 (x- Hans Stuck factory car) and a '70 Chevron B16 (x-everybody) I love both cars, but it costs close to $4000 a weekend just "kick them off the trailer"#-o. I figured it out one day that it takes approximately 50 hours of prep for every 1 hour of track time...

I currently have two cars with "FIA papers". Obtaining them with cars that have a verifiable race history, was painful enough, I do not want to go through that process with a "reproduction" vehicle. We are really just trying to put together a car that will run in the endurance events, not cost a...

Since we are doing this for "fun" and are not going to submit it for FIA "thoroughbred" heritage papers, we are combining the "best" from each book. We are not even sure what year specs we are going to build the car too... We plan to run mostly at HSR/SVRA endurance events on the East Coast...

Hi Matt, Adams Racing in Detroit, MI is building my car. John Adams was lead engineer for Kar-Kraft in it's heyday (I know he's a FORD guy, but he was in charge of the development of Mustangs driven by Parnelli Jones and George Follmer during the 1969-70 and 70-71 series) We are currently...

Hi Matt, I have been a Road Racer my whole life, though mostly "open wheel". I currently campaign a couple of vintage cars, but like you are looking to create a Barracuda/Dart AS/Trans-Am car. I would suggest downloading the HSR/SVRA rules and regulations and go from there. I have a car, in...
