Chevy Modified See car below.

Saratoga Automobile Museum - Saratoga Springs, New York



In 1970, Wesley Moody became the first to average over 100 mph for a lap on the New York Fairgrounds one mile dirt track (now often called the "Moody Mile"). This is the car that he did it in. It is a 1936 Chevy coupe with a Chevy fuel injected big block 454 cubic inch V8 engine; 54 Chevy frame rails and a Ford solid axel in front. It had a longer wheel base than the normal dirt track car so it was very effective on asphalt too. Paraphrased from various sources.

Cool shots, both the close up and the whole car. I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin. "V"
