Based on the information received to date (2/2023), we have come up with a total of 14 Weld Modifieds (built by Kenny Weld), including the Batmobile.

Of these 14, we believe 10 of them were produced for resale in the Weld facility as you see in the black and white photo above.

---

(1) #29 Weikert Car (first car built.)
(10) "Weld Factory" Built Cars
(1) Unique Weld Built Car (Red White & Blue #91 first driven by Kenny Weld)
(1) Unique car that featured the engine mounted noticeably to the left side
(1) The #112 Batmobile driven at Syracuse 1980
TOTAL = 14

*In addition to the 14 listed above, there were 2 cars produced by Walt Olsen using the jigs he purchased from Kenny Weld.

The information below is presented as "the best we've been able to come up with so far" based off of photos, information provided by visitors to our site, and by those who have had direct involvement with the cars.  There is more information out there that could help us fine tune the information below....  We welcome information from those who were involved directly with real Weld Modifieds during their run from the mid 70's up until the early 80s, and are ALWAYS willing to update any/all of the information below should new creditable information be received.

We will update the section as more information is provided by you guys!

Reference "1st" Weld Modified - (The First Weld Built Modified):


Rich Young photo - Provided by Rich Young and Joe Cryan

Weld Built Weikert white, red & blue #29 with gold #'s driven by Kenny Weld in 1974.  (Some pictures show the car with a lighter shade of blue than others.) We also have pictures of this same car being driven Kenny as a #91 with gold #'s which was driven after he was no longer flying the Weikert name.  That car was sold to Statewide Racing at the end of the 1975 season, and was repainted red and renumbered to #3 and was first driven by Billy Osmun (at Syracuse) and also by Kenny Weld at the end of 1975 season.)  The following season (spring of 1976) the car was driven by Gary Balough also as a red Statewide #3.  We also found a picture from a 1976 Statewide program that had Kenny Brightbill behind the wheel on at least one night (while Balough was in the newer team car.) 

At some point, this same car then became the Fast Company #2 that would eventually be driven by Billy Osmun, Kevin Collins & Jeff Hoetzler.  Near the end of it's run (early 80's) a coupe body would be installed with Jeff Hoeztler behind the wheel and would be campaigned as the #J17 "Hazel" coupe.  I'm told this car has been restored to its original version (as the Weikert #29.)

This car, and other "versions" of this car are pictured below:

Where is it now?

We are told that the original car, was restored to it's original look, and had been on display at the Dirt Modified Hall of Fame and Museum in Weedsport through 2016, however the car changed ownership in early 2017, and we are told is no longer on display. 

Update (1/10/23):  Current owner is Scott Rickrode.  Car maintains the same look as pictured above and below.


The above photo is from Jack Kromer - Taken at Port Royal Speedway on 5/27/17, with both Weikert #29's taking a few laps.

The George Moskat MK Foreign Car #11 1976 (Kenny Weld stopped driving the car in 07/11/76.)
Weld Built new for George Moskat (MK Foreign Cars) driven by Kenny Weld first as a yellow #11, and then the # was changed to #91 (for a change of luck because they kept blowing right rear tires!)  Then became the white #56 driven by Gary Hieber, then sold to Clay Woodington who ran it at Grandview as a yellow #94.

We are told that the car was then bought from the Hanna brothers by Rich Keddy (driven by Dave Keddy), who ran the car as a #57 in 1983 & 1984 in NY (not at Flemington.).   The car was then sold to John Hankamp.

The B&M Speed Shot #14J 1976

Note:  Originally, we weren't sure if there were 2 different Weld cars driven by Alan Johnson, but recently received the following additional information from Vault Visitors:

From Vault Visitor "BV"  (03.02.18):  

In 1974 Alan drove Tom Uwing white Corvair #14j.  They had a fight in July, and Tom left.  Bob Cole (Vogle's Collision) brought the mig welder to B&M Speed Shop.  Me and Barry Johnson got an old coupe together in 1 week to finish the season at Canandaigua and Weedsport.  Went dry. (didn't qualify.)   It was purple and yellow (same colors as the Weld Circus Car would later be.) 

All of Alan's cars were #'d 14j.  First Weld car was white and red.  One came in the winter of 1975, and was one of the first 6 Weld cars made (I think #6.)  Ran in the summer of 1976.   Had 105" drag tires on it.  In August, Milt bought a set of tires for rear 120" & 125".  

The second Weld car came later that year.  It was from the second batch (of 8 or 9) cars that Kenny made.  It hung in the ceiling at B&M for a few months, to keep it out of the way.  We only had one bay to work in.   It was Easter Egg purple and yellow and was also #14j. 

We set it up for Syracuse.  Moved the engine ahead 2 or 3" get more weight on the front end, and had softened rear springs.  Had some trouble because we put hard low profile tire on for Syracuse and went out to do 2 lap qualify on two new Firestone no dot tires (really soft 35 durometer.)   Syracuse was all cinders then.  Al came back in after 2 laps and the tires were bald (down to the canvas), and a slow time.  It was Wemble's idea. 

The Weld cars were made for drag tires, for tacky clay like at Reading and Canandaigua.  We also had put on a Holley carb  that Cliff got from Smokey Yunick (Fla).  He used to call and talk to Milt at B&M.  The carb didn't work out for mile track.  

Both cars ran in 77 and 78.  I think they took the 2nd car to Florida in those years.  I think it was late 78--79 that glen Donnelley GOT A SUITCASE FULL OF $$$ from Goodyear to change the rules to low profile type tires of today.  That's when everyone was starting to use torsion bars.   In the winter of 79 (I think) they sent the white and red car (the car referred to above as possibly the 6th Weld car built) out to be changed to torsion bar. 

I'll try to find Barry J.  He lived everyday at shop (and he made that car go) to see if he can remember dates.

From Vault Visitor "Chris" (12.09.17):  The red one was used in 1976, 1977 white body and partially in 1978 with red body. The red weld car was driven by Pep Pepicelli for 79 season.

---

From Vault Visitor Bruce Ferrell (07.15.16): 

Alan drove two weld cars that were owned by Cliff Barcomb.   Wembly Construction was owned by by cliff, thus the Wembly name on the cars.

First car was built totally by Weld and was originally painted white with red/orange border trim.  At some point (maybe between seasons or before Syracuse) the white car was painted red with white border trim.  It was fast on tacky tracks with drag rubber on.

The second car was a Weld frame (reportedly the last one built by Kenny) that went as a bare frame to Tobias Speed Shop in Pennsylvania where it had a four torsion bar suspension installed instead of Kenny's coil over original suspension.   It was painted the three color scheme (yellow, pink, red) I believe by Bob Myer (Meyer?).  If I can find my old pictures, I have some of the second car before it was raced, it had quite the mural on the back panel.

When Alan and car owner Cliff Barcomb (Wembley construction) split, Barcomb took both Weld cars.   If memory is correct, one car became #11 that Pep Pepicelli drove. 

This car, and other "versions" of this car are pictured below:

2nd #14J Weld Modified

Note:  Not sure who provided the information that follows, but if it looks familiar, please let me know so I can give credit!  Thanks.

Barcomb/Johnson team did have two Weld cars. The 1st car (original) was red and white.  The second car (pictured above) was referred to as the "Circus Car," and was bought shortly after first. The Circus Car was pink and yellow, and was assembled over winter of 1978.

About mid August of 1979, the team had a falling out and Alan Johnson tells me that after the falling out, he no longer drove the Circus Car.  From what I’ve read and heard, he was only out of the car for one week.  Milt Johnson retook possession of car, and the car was then run by Alan Johnson at ESW in Middletown in 1979.  He also might have driven it in October at Syracuse. I believe over the winter, Barcomb retook possession of the car.

1/10/23 update:  This car then became the Mark Elsie #101 and driven at Lebanon Valley, etc.  After that it, was sold to Ted Renshaw (#57) who possibly never raced it.

Car was located in Canada, and purchased in above condition in 2017 - Plans are to restore it to an earlier version.

The "Sidewinder #91 (1975)
Car referred to as "the 2nd Weld Car" built by Kenny Weld (1975).  Photographer unknown - Provided By Tim McGuire

Weld Built red, white, & blue "Sidewinder" driven by Kenny Weld (sold to Britt Batty who ran it as a #64 - see note from July '75 Bridgeport Speed Scene):

From what I've learned, Sonny Dornberger as referenced in the article above, would field two blue #99 Gremlin racers.  The #91 as pictured above, that then became the Britt Batty #64, would eventually become one of the Dornberger #99 cars.   Note:  Not sure if this was actually the 2nd car made, or if it was referred to as the "2nd car" because it to be a 2nd generation of Weld (front suspension different, and other changes.)  This car was different than the first car, and different than all other cars produced for customers.  It is a true one of a kind car.  Here's a Tri-State Newspaper clipping from 5/28/75 that helps to establish when the car was raced by Kenny Weld:
