Description:


This front-running National car had a complete frame-off restoration in the Winter of 1996. The
chassis was rejigged and all components refurbished. Since that rebuild the car has only covered 10 races,
including two Runoffs appearences where it placed in the top 10. The car holds the SCCA lap record
at Pocono and Bridgehampton, and consistently finishes in the top 5 in every National it competes in.
The car is extensively developed, fully sorted, and race ready. An extensive spares package accompanies
the car.
