Description:

A totally original, unrestored and unmolested example with only 27 career races and a few
autocrosses. The car has a continuous history including pro races driven by Johnny Parsons in the
USAC series. The car has extensive spares including a pro-built engine and is very reasonably
priced. It is certainly the least expensive way we know to go Formula 70 racing.

History

Originally
purchased by Tom Deth, a power boat racer who wanted to get into Indy racing. He crashed his first
car, the sister car to ours, at Milwaukee. It was a very bad crash (he hit so hard he burst the seams
on his driving suit) and destroyed the car except for the suspension on the left side and some other
miscellaneous pieces. We have these pieces as our spares.
