Even autcrossed it with the old Mr Gasket Veritgate I had had in my old 409 Impala in the 70s!.

If you go autocrossing a set of road race slicks (John Berget sells used race tires) makes it even more fun! I even has some heavy steel 16x10 wheels I had made form one of the circle track wheel companies for it I'll give you if you pay shipping!
Thanks for the offer Skip! Unfortunately my brakes will be too big for anything but my 18" rims. I actually bought brand new Continental tires direct from Hoosier that they no longer use in a certain race series, they were only $125 each brand new!
