Go look at powerblocktv.com and get a copy of the Musclecar Mustang build. They built an early mustang for pure racing with pretty serious engine set back.

You can either contact the local tracks in your area and see what sanctioned racing they have then get the info from them, or you can contact someone like others have mentioned, such as Cobra Automotive who builds historic racers, and can give you rules lists for the different classes.

Also consider it doesn't HAVE to be a class racer either, if you just want to race for fun you can do something like Speed Ventures, where they group you based on vehicle and driver performance and you just run for lap times on a track with other traffic, but not actual races. You can see 65 Mustangs on the same track as Dodge Vipers in instances like that.

Also be aware that if you do get into the historic racing, you probably won't be competitive. There are a lot of guys who do it with a lot of money that have VERY fast cars and good driving skills. If you stay in it long enough then you may become competitive, but that gets expensive.

67mustang a corvette still has a frame kinda c5/c6 the transaxle is counted as part of the frame its odd but works.But yeah racing can get pricey just buying all the stuff you gotta wear is fun sometimes.

It's still a unibody car. The transaxle functions as part of the structural member of the car, but it does so in a similar fashion to a front frame rail and rear frame rail setup. Most unibody cars have partial frames in the front and rear, but they're not full chassis cars.
