I really love the old Stock and Super Stockers. Note both cars in the last picture are virtually untouched and have no roll bar whatsoever. The higher classes only had a bolt-in 3-point Lakewood. Some of the fastest cars back then were full of hidden tricks that drove the tech inspectors crazy. There is a story of Tony Pizzi "shaving" his slicks so they would pass tech.....pictures exist of his car (the one pictured above) on jack stands, running in gear, with Tony using a file on the outer edges of the slicks so the tread would measure at or under the allowable size.
Can't wait to see this car resurrected and shaped up. I bet with a little time and careful TLC (unless it was damaged when parked) that car would start and run fairly well. Valve springs might be weak, but that little '02 will be neat to play with!
