Description:

This excellent March Formula Atlantic car has extensive pro and amateur history including the Long Beach Grand Prix FA race. The bodywork, except for the engine cover and rear wing is one race old, with new paint and color scheme (yellow/purple) completed fall 2002. Zero time on recently freshened engine. This car has been consistently one of the fastest flat bottom cars where ever it has been raced. Currently race prepped and maintained professionally in San Diego, CA. The owner will consider as partial trade, Titan MK6 FF, or Datsun 240Z Vintage race car. The tub was redone by Marc Bahner; the chassis is mostly 76 spec including bodywork. The rear wing was replaced with a Ralt RT-1 wing by Jimmy Santos in the late 70’s. All four uprites recently rebuilt. Front uprite pivot studs have been replaced and reinforced. Just completed engine refresh by Ivey Engines, Portland, OR.
