DescriptionThe March has had a lot of restoration work done in order to run in the AIS Series. All major components have been overhauled including: front and rear uprights (magnafluxed), electrical system, steering gear, anti roll bar (front and rear), front rockers, oil tank, cooling system, oil system, front and rear suspension (nickel plated), and front and rear wings (road course). The starter shaft and gears are new and much of the hardware has been replaced.Chuck Snyder of Foxco built the engine to run in the AIS venue but this never happened. The stock block is new and has not been fired. Currently the motor has Hilborn injection and is set up to run alcohol. The car should be ready for the track with a minimum amount of work. Currently it is painted to match the Marlboro car of Fittipaldi. |

Originally this car was bought new by Galen Fox from March in Late 1986. Gary Bettenhausen started the Indianapolis 500 on the ouside of row 5 and finished the race in fifth place. Scott Goodyear and Rocky Moran also drove this car in the following two years, qualifying it once. Critter Malone of Indianapolis also owned the car, but we are not sure to what extent it was used. At one time we believe the car ran a Buick stock block.
