Description:


This car was fully restored in the 90's and barely driven. It is owned by Naveen Maraj, Owner of Champion Motorsport, and Son of Dave Maraj Owner of Champion Porsche. It has been stored for at least 10 years, but was recently pulled from Air conditioned climate controlled storage, cleaned, carbs freshened, and it has been driven 4 or 500 miles in the last year trouble free. The car is not currently a race prepared car, but it does have some poorly documented autocross and road course use history. There is quite a bit of paperwork documenting the resotoration process, and there is a great deal of information documenting the engine, the builder and the specs. Featured in Jan/Feb 1995 issue of Auto X Magazine. I have a dozen more studio quality photos, as well as many simple "on the road photos" of the car from every angle, wheels on, wheels off, undercarrige, etc. Please request, and I will add.


History

There is limited on track history with this car as we have photos of it running AutoCross etc.. It has been owned by it's current owner for 15+ years.Performance Data
