That's Ken Reece's Super '3-1 Supermodified' or '3-1 Super' car from 1979. Don't know if it had a definite name at all.
It was banned from racing due to rule changes and never get the chance to run in an official race.

I think it's "3-to-1 Super", but Allemano's beaten me to the punch (no surprise there).  :)

Please tell me the year, the builder's name, and what was unusual about the construction of the car.

 Kenny Reece's 3-to-1 Supermodified, 1979. It had three wheels on one side, one wheel plus a big block Chevy on the other side. It was banned before it could race

 :hail: That was seriously quick. Well done, you told me all I asked. The builder decided that it would go round a speedway track faster than the opposition with that wheel configuration. We'll never know.

Thanks. It didn't come up under "Reece" on the search, and I couldn't think of another search clue.

You are right, under 'Reece' it did not come up. I was sure it was somewhere and tried with 'Supermodified'.
