This car was restored in 1998 and has just had a complete new engine built by Butch Gilbert installed in Aug, 2003. New Panasports and tires were also mounted in 2001. Aproximately 23 races have been logged on the car since restoration at the following venues: Sears Point, Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, Seattle Historics. Selling to purchase a Chevvy powered special to really scare myself.
