Heres one I'd like to see. Rebuild a older dwarf car and widen the body to seat two wide and drop in a built Harley motor for the right powre and sound.

Dwarf car- road course and oval track race cars built using 30's and
40's coupe and sedan bodies running 1200 cc motorcycle motors and Toyota rearends. The one I mentioned would be converted over for street use.

Sounds like a Legends car? Never seen one street legal. They are 3/4 size anyway if that is what you are talking about.

here's a Dwarf (legends) car for those that don't know.
actually, they are 5/8ths Scale. Are a hoot to drive, and almost as fast as a 360 sprint car on a dirt track.

If the dwarf cars in your area are almost as fast as the 360 sprint cars, you ither have some really fast dwarf's or some really slow 360's. Anyway there are a couple guys in my area that have retired from racing dwarfs and have converted them into street cars. Licensed, tagged and insured. One even kept the twist grip throttle and hand clutch.

Fast dwarfs. 1000 cc four cylinders, that average over 100 mph around the local dirt track. the HP to weight ratio gives the dwarf cars a pretty stout advantage.
