Description:

I bought this as a tub in 1973 and built into SCCA HP racer. Has SCCA logbook (and 2 supplements). Ran competitively regionally when I could afford to keep up. After that I ran for fun a friendships until kids and house changed my priorities. Last Tech'd in 1992, so that is level of prep. Always garaged, as were all spares - I need to clear out garage and shed! Engine in the car never raced, but has my first heat treated crank (I was a slow learner) Started with bolt in roll bar, converted to well designed cage with low front hoop under dash, connecting 4 corners of suspension.
