This Kinser Sprint car was restored by Championship Racing in
Indianapolis, IN. They are one of the two premier Indy car
restoration shops.
The owner states:
The car that they (Championship Racing) started with was one of
Kinser’s Championship cars – from his – I believe – ’77 season but
it might have been ’76. I am told that this car had the front end
ripped off
in an accident, which is very common. An entire new front end was
fabricated and the chassis was lengthened a few inches. The 800 HP
alcohol small block Chevy was removed and it was replaced with a
fresh 450 HP
small block Chevy that runs on premium pump gas. A 2-speed Chevy
hydromatic drag race transmission was then installed to provide
forward, reverse and park positions. All necessary items were added
to the car to
make it street legal – I have personally driven the car on the
street in Calif. for probably 1200 to 1500 miles with no issues
other than the need to be aware that the power to weight ratio is
better than twice that of a
Dodge Viper.
The car also comes with a full outlaw wing that is painted white to
match the car. I also put a racing fuel cell inside what was once
the wet tail for added safety on the street. The car is equipped
with street legal tires.
