History

There are two known previous owners that are known of. The first spent big money at a professional race prep/restoration shop (Mountjoy's Auto Shop)
to make the car go quickly, stop well, and carve corners. The second owner spent most of his time wrenching and fine tuning this car's already
formidable performance. The current owner spent his time and money making the car reliable, more steetable, and controversial by comparison
to anything else in the marketplace. This is truly a street legal race car that turns every head!
