I know it's O/T here, but I think some of you guys might be interested.

I pulled my vintage dirt modified out of long-term storage and got it running in preparation for selling it. Here's a link to the fire-up on the H.A.M.B. :

Awesome Denny !!! Thanks for sharing. Though not from that era, it took me back to the 50s and watching "jalopy" races on tv with lots of flathead V8s roaring in the dirt.

Next to a Flathead, the hemi is my next favorite motor, it does run sweet.

What a beautiful car. I know if I had my '56 Ford Early Late super stock we ran in 1969 and '70 she would be summertime yard art now. The memories are priceless.
We ran that old girl on pavement and dirt. We could never afford the powerplants the hot dogs had but we ran as hard as we could.

Personally, I think you'll regret selling that piece of your history. I know I regret it now.
