I'd be tempted to build a '63-'66 Valiant, basically an early SCCA A Sedan car, with the best suspension & brakes I could afford, and some modern sticky tires. For really weirding out the status guys, a '60-'62 Valiant or Lancer body with a SB swap would have to be an absolute riot, especially if it had 4 doors. If it weren't for the added weight high & at the rear, a wagon would make heads spin...

That would make a very neat car. I've got a picture of one with that look from Fall Fling. I'll try to find it.
They are the lightest and smallest A-bodies and have a 106" wheelbase for the Plymouths. The 60-62's have weird front suspension.
The car would definitely need some fender flares. But make the gradual so they don't stand out to much; like the 70 race T/A and AAR's had. I'd want to run at least 245 wide tires.
Those cars look pretty good without front bumpers too.
) to build into a tube chassis road course set-up. I'm planning on using a Caddy CTS IRS with a stroker 360. Should be fun. Heck, I'd even take a wagon if I could find a decnt one. Most guys don't want to hear about me cutting up their cars.

The M body is a lot more trickey to get to work, when I did mine the I could never get the front to work really good, at the time no one made bigger t-bars, the factory ones just did not have enough spring rate. Plus it a lot of work to get rid of all the rubber that holds the rear springs and axle in place. The A boby also has a 300lb weight advantage.
Now if you just want to have fun a truck can be a blast and you can use it for halling stuff when your not racing it.

how about a 80's cop car?? grand fury or diplomat??? gut it build the 360 (cheap) It already has all the heavy duty junk on it. Plus it'd be cool to show up w/ a 4 door.
