Description:

A legal formula Ford with some improvements. Solid state ignition, rev limiter, stainless steel hydraulic lines(brakes and clutch), SuperTrapp muffler, Bilstein shocks on rear, original Armstrong adjustable on front. Dry sump oiling system, oil cooler, Baker dry cell battery(with external charger). The engine is "strong" and everything "works" together very well! The car comes with a two-wheel trailer also in excellent condition. I have just reduced the price, we have a move coming up very soon to a smaller space!
