Description:


A very good racer with recent restoration and rebuilt motor from MWE. The car comes race ready with lots of spares.


History

This car was brought to the states in the late eighties by a gentleman in Connecticut along with two
other cars. It was sold to a racer who completely restored the car in 1994. He raced it in 12 to 15 races
with excellent results, including a few first place finishes at Elkhardt and Mid Ohio. The car was sold again to
a racer in Ohio and was raced 12 or so times. The current owner bought the car 3 years ago and had a nasty
crash with the car at Savannah in 1996, which resulted in a new frame being built by Merlyn still retaining
the original chassis tag. The frame is 2 years old as are most of the suspension parts.
