This is a replica I am doing using all vintage parts....it's replicating an Ultima the Diamond
One raced in the 80's....the chassis was a beat up pile I restored, along with the TrackMaster tranny...it will be a slow process, but here's the start

That is coming together nicely. Since it is a replica, I assume you already have plans for the body and paint scheme.
