The #1 Nu-Style Pinto owned by Dick Armstong. For a few years in the mid-late ’70s, Nu-Style Racing was probably the most heavily-funded Modified team in existence. During that period, their cars were driven to many victories by Geoff Bodine.
This photo reveals the gearbox casing of a 5-speed transmission. That feature may have contributed to the car’s success – the rules allowed a maximum of 4 speeds.
