The "kit car" is a performance-engineered version of compact Dodge Dart Sport 340 or Plymouth Duster two-door models on a 108-inch wheelbase.
"It's called a 'kit car' because anyone can purchase the packaged components and assemble them, just as youngsters put together scale models from a hobby shop kit," said Larry Rathgeb, manager - stock car programs for Chrysler.
"All the right parts are in the kit, and directions are explained very simply in black and white," said Rathgeb. "The buyer will be responsible for welding the parts and most will assemble their own engines. But, the beauty of the program is that we have taken the mystery out of building a stock car."
