How dumb do you have to be to buy a modified car from a stranger? So I bought my hotrod on E-bay and got lucky. Of course lots of problems, but if you can't cope with that, buy a new Toyota with a guarantee. I have a '62 Nova, but that's just the sheep's clothing. I have tried to trace the builder of the car, as I don't even know exactly what the motor is. 350 with roller cam and aluminum heads. Izzat a ZZ4? But the trick stuff is the suspension. Heidt's front end and rack&pinion steering, and Heidt's independent rear suspension. Tires are 245 40 ZR 17. So the potential for cornering is there, but it needs more tweaks. After lots of expensive work it is starting to behave on the track but I still need to throw more money at it. And learn how to drive it. My future concerns will be: bigger Aldan shocks on the rear? Frame stiffeners? Rear sway bar? Upgrade master cylinder and vacuum pot?
