Description:


This is a partial tube frame car built in Canada in the early '70's from a '69 Austin America. Basic unibody with full cage extending from front to rear of car (entire front tubed to replace subframe). Extensive use of aluminum sheeting (hood, doors, trunk, fender flares). If you can imagine an IMSA America, this is it!


History

Car ran Canadian ADAC class '74-'80(then parked & forgotten), then '93-'96 in CASC & SCCA(then parked & forgotten again). I found it in '06 and brought it back to life again.
