After being converted to a race car in 1970 by Clyde Hemeon, this 1967 Chevelle was driven by Bob Yuille, Charlie Kane, and then to three championships between Jim Sewart and his brother Greg. The car competed until 1980 when it was parked beside a barn near Brookfield, NS. In 2004, it was discovered and moved to a field near the Halifax airport. In 2010 it was recovered by eventual HOAC founders. The car was fully restored in 2017 and has since been used to promote HOAC and help preserve Maritime stock car racing history.

A tribute to ‘Daytona’ Don Biederman, this car debuted out of the Hot Rod Classics in-house stable in the spring of 2026 after being carefully crafted by series founder Pat Lawrence. It is a replica of one of the most recognizable race cars in Canadian stock car racing history, ‘Daytona’ Don Biederman’s Petty blue #43 1972 Chevy Nova. In it, Biederman won crown jewel races in Canada and the United States, including the Maple Leaf 250 at Cayuga Motor Speedway in Ontario and the Oxford 250 in Maine. It competes in the Hot Rod Classics Vintage Race Car Series with Lawrence at the wheel.

In 2018 we added this vintage Tour-Type Modified race car to our collection. A 1979 Ford Pinto, the car boasts a significant lineage including a win in a 1980s NASCAR modified 100-lap event at Westboro Speedway (MA). It was driven originally by Roland Lapierre, Jr. as #134, then with a Chevy Vega body. It was eventually sold and the number changed to ‘U2’ and, for a short time, ‘U25’, and raced by Joe Howard at Stafford and Thompson Speedways. In the early 2000s, Kevin Brown found the car in the woods of Munroe, CT and sold it to Randy Hall (for $200). Hall restored the car to its ‘U2’ condition and then raced it with vintage series around New England. Once acquired by HOAC, the car was rebuilt and the number changed back to its original #134 as a tribute to Roland Lapierre, Jr. This car returned to its roots early in 2025 when it was sold to a new owner in New England.
