Yes, engines, bodies and chassis were modified, but the vehicle was actually something one could buy. Same with many of the muscle cars of the late 50's, 60's and early 70's.  If one wanted to get into racing they could without millions of dollars. What is raced today bears little resemblance to what one can buy without 100's of thousands (possibly millions.) We have lost our way and our spirit to live and enjoy life. Cars have become more like a refrigerator or a stove and people want convenience and comfort over driver experience. At one time almost every model of car had a performance option, now only a few cars are performance oriented, you can count them on one hand and 1 finger (assuming one has all their digits), Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Jeep, Bronco and Corvette. We lived better 50 years ago, no, we lived.</p></blockquote><p></p>
