Description:


A special car in that it sat brand new for 26 years. The previous owner lovingly cared for it including two Quicksilver engine updates and Taylor Engineering blueprint of gearbox without ever racing the car! I bought it 2 years ago and raced for a season before buying a Ralt-RT5. I thought I would drive both to maximize seat time but found diving one affected the other too much. Car was brand new but 26 years old when I got it. It has 2 hours of time on new Ivey rebuild. New aluminium radiators, new fuel cell, newly powdercoated and stiffened frame, new starter motor, new Stack Tach. It has been professionally maintained since I bought it by a former national champion crew chief. I have all the original tech manuals, purchase order from Carl Haas, receipts on all work before and after my purchase. Drove car in 50th Lola reunion race last week and it is perfect. Many cars say "race-ready" and $10,000 to $15,000 later you would feel safe to drive it---this one is absolutely turn-key ready.
