Thanks for these! Interesting subject to model for sure!
Another interesting little known subject to model. I'll have to research those cars, those would be fun to recreate. Not many models made of those cars.. would be rare. Thanks man!

I'm no expert, but big block chivvy power?
I have no idea either. But if that's true, I'll take some liberty and model it with a 440

Kit car advertisement. And not an A Body, but cool car to model.

Yes, they were cheap back then and made more than enough power without a lot of mods. At one time that was about the only motor you saw in modifieds like that. Lots of places had a special division for "small blocks", AKA the guys who couldn't afford a "real" race car. Of course 95% of them ran Chevies too!
yep,,,99% had 467 chevys,,a cpl used 426 hemi,,,but pretty much every modified up here in the northeast ran 467 bb chevy, regardless of body,,(vega, gremlins, pintos, chevettes, falcons, valiants, 3w coupes, 2 door sedans,,

I did a Hyper Pak Valiant years ago, these are scratch built decals. And a resin intake before Gibson did a slant.
THAT'S COOL!
I read up on it a little.. It'd be cool to model all those 60 Val's that dominated that race.
I've been patiently waiting for @Oldmanmopar to bless me with some A-body pics of short-track cars.. he has to have a few in that massive stash of Mopar pics he has!
Begging ya guy!
Promise I won't try to buy anything form you!

There is a seller on ebay who does this decal and the petty cars. 7 Cars, that would be a sight!

-- This car was KA at Shangri La Speedway in Owego, N.Y.
It's either that or a Ford Cleveland. Chevy more likely.
That is really badass, man.

Wish someone had dragged me to the track in those days!
The videos of pintos, vegas, and gremlins are pretty cool.
Of course a Mopar powered car would be awesome too!

Nobody with half a brain would run a Ford motor in a car like that. Someone trying to use what they had laying around maybe. But nobody really serious about winning. Not in that type of car.
Easy boy. lol

Really, I know a guy that used to try and run 351-C Ford motors in his modified. Nothing but one problem after another. Spent more money too. He was like one car out of 50. And he even got a weight break for running something other than a BBC/SBC. He never had any success.
