Default 1967 GTO dirt track car

My dad picked up this car a few days ago after finding it on craigslist. An older gentleman who owned a salvage yard was trying to get rid of some cars sitting on his property due to his age. He raced this car a few times here in Oklahoma after he rolled his previous second gen camaro race car. At least this car was driven and wasn't crushed!

It still has a 400 motor with 670 heads and what appears to be the original iron intake manifold. Unfortunately someone removed the carburetor and the chrome valve covers and mice have made it their home!!! The drivers door is welded shut and the doors, hood, and trunk lid have all of the inner structure removed. To install the roll cage they cut the roof off and then welded it back on and its a little crooked. It's hard to think that this was once a brand new car... The original paint was silver glaze with a black painted top which you can still see under a flaking red repaint. I wish I lived in the generation when these cars were cheap enough to chop up!
