Your car would be OK in the Florida Regions SCCA Vintage Program as only
a roll bar (to current specs) is required in Vintage for production cars
and the earlier cages are OK for the prototypes and sports racers. Fuel
cells, harnesses, cut-off switches, window nets/arm restraints, fire
extinguisher and full driver gear is also required.
