Description

History

Originally built for 2.5L Trans-Am in which these cars were very competitive. The car was not completed before series was terminated and was never raced in period.

Often referred to as the "poor mans BMW", the 510 made quite a show in the Trans-Am 2.5 series by winning the 1971 and 1972 season championship. Although low on power, these little sedans have full independent rear suspension and in race trim are great handling cars. They are still popular today in club racing groups and more are finding their way into vintage. These cars are eligible for Trans-Am 2.5, Production and B-Sedan in most race organizations.
