You called it - the #X3 Pinto and The #1 nothcback Vega lined up at Islip Speedway! Great pic - these are the cars, the place, and time that influenced all of these builds...

Here is another (next) Vintage NY Modified:

LAMINATED VINTAGE ASPHALT MODIFIED NOTCHBACK VEGA, #1-




I made this one up as Charlie Jarzombek's #1, because *for me* that was probably the definitive 'Notchback' Vega Modified.



'JAWS'-



This Vega was locally known as "Jaws". No doubt because of the impact the Summer blockbuster movie 'Jaws' had on Long Island around that time - and maybe in part because 'Jarzombek' said with a certain New York accent might come off as Jawz-ombek? But really because this was a fierce competitor, top of the food chain kind of runner.

I have a regular 'Hatcback' Vega that I also have to show...

These are going to be a hit. I didn't think paper cars could look that good.
