This is a car I owned back in the late 1970s, early 80s. I raced it in SCCA GT-1/AP and a few IMSA race along with Phil Currin. I sold it back then but bought it back a few years ago with the idea of restoring it and racing it again in vintage racing. It cost me far MORE than I planned to restore it so I am selling my dream.
The car has about 1 ½ hours of track test time so it is fairly well sorted. All testing was done when the car was in primer. Once I was confident the car was running right we took it apart and completely painted the car. The paint is show quality and better than most street Vettes of that era.
One thing that has changed since the photos were taken is I found the roll cage on the drivers side to high to get in and out of the car easily with the hard top on so I had it lowered several inches.
All work was professionally done at www.xks.com
