Fun, strong, easy to drive car. Brings smiles and 510 memories from nearly everyone who sees it. Raced with SCCA in GT classes. Intact unibody ("Tub car") allows easy conversion to G Production where it can be highly competitive. Would also make a great vintage candidate. Race car since 1982 with continuous development. Low time since RallyeSport/Jeff Winters engine rebuild with head modification. Rack and pinion steering conversion, NISMO Option 2 gearbox, four differentials, Halon fire system, adjustable suspension, Kirkey seat, and much more.
