1979 March 79B Formula Atlantic

Serial Number: 79B-17 Gearbox Number: tbd Logbooks: Condition: excellent, disassembled Price: $30,000 U.S. Location: Northern Midwest, U.S.

Description This beautifully prepared March Atlantic car was recently imported into the U.S. in the condition shown in the photos. It has since been disassembled and all components crack-checked. The owner has lost interest in the project and the car awaits assembly. It is offerred without engine but the FT-200 has just undergone an expensive rebuild which included a new ring & pinion and differential. UPDATE: The car has now changed hands and restoration work restarted but the current owner still wishes to sell. Much additional work has been done which is detailed below. The asking price has inched up due to the additional work.
