COULD work as a race car, although you have not given us enough info on the condition of the shell to determine if it is even cost effective to use it for that.
Roadrunner or not??? VIN Question

First of all there are too many digits in the sequence. “2841301”. The following are the possibilities. If you can double check on the sequential I can check the system. Unfortunately, we do not have micro fiche that goes back that far to build it up. The starting sequence is 1000000 and ends 458950. I just didn’t know which digit to drop.

correct VIN number should be stamped beside radiator or in trunk beside drain plug.

I have never seen it there and seriously doubt it ever was. In 1969 it is stamped on the trunk lip under the weather stripping.
BTW, there are no "drain plugs" in the trunk. There are hoes with plugs but those have to due with the manufacturing process.

Another potential issue- if the vin and fender tag are missing, they could be on another car somewhere and registered. You will not be able to register this vin if it is already titled somewhere.

in 1968 - 70 the belvedere line and all it's models come from the Belvedere line.
When the Roadrunner came out in 68 it was a Belvedere coupe. Then late production they introduced the hard top. So it was a model of it's own.
It was RL-Belvedere, RM-Roadrunner, RH-Satellite, RP-Sport Satellite, RS-GTX 68-70
71-74 It's the Satellite line, because they dropped the Belvedere name.
71 is

Old thread but still relevant info for the fool thinking about buying a car with no title. 
Speaking of which, there's been lots of talk about finding a VIN, but none about getting a title.
I looked into buying a 75 Torino down here in FL that had no title. The owner said he had bought it without a title, and now had "too many projects", so he was selling. I went to the DMV and talked to them, and they explained that if I knew the state the car was last titled in, I was told it was NC, I would have to request the name and address of the last registered owner, contact the owner, and have the owner request a new title and send it to me. If I didn't know the state, I would have to start contacting all 50 until I found the state that held a title on that car.
The worst part is that assuming the owner is still alive, or if dead you can find their heir, that person still technically owns that car! So you can pay someone $2,000 for that car, and when you contact the last registered owner, they could say "I want $2,000 for the car" before getting you your title.
The owner had tried to sell me on the idea I could use an online title outfit to get a title for about $90, but those only work for getting you a replacement title if you are the owner, which was why the owner had never gotten one. He was hoping the Bigger Idiot theory would work out for him, and I didn't want to be his bigger idiot so I passed on the car.
Never buy a car with no title!
