I saw Wildfire a 62 NSS car for sale on Facebook earlier today, I contacted the Owner and ask him some questions, does anyone know a lot about this car, he told me I needed to research it and find out its history, I have looked through google and mostly there are video's and a couple of articles on it but not a lot of nuts and bolts stuff.

I am more interest in build info, like chassis stuff, who built the car, is there a build thread on it somewhere, does it have a certified cage, how fast has it been and that kind of stuff. Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

I talked to him through messenger today. No disrespect to him, he is up on the cars history and stuff. I am more interested in the nut and bolt part of the car. The build of it. I know it has a Dana rear diff, the tire size, engine. I am more interested in chassis mods, brakes cage, weight, what is fiberglass, what is steel, clutch, bell housing. The general info of the racing equipment.

Don't you think the owner should know that
I have bought several race cars and you would be surprised what is unknown about them. Not saying this in a bad way. I doesn’t matter to some people as long as they can race it. I am looking to race it in a class with strick rules it may have been modified to much already for me to consider it.

Well I miss understood the pm message I received. Turns out it was someone else. He knew a little about Wildfire, informed me it was back halved car. This will not work for me I need a stock chassis. He was able to help me with what I was looking for. Thanks for all the help.
