I've raced special events for nearly 20 years, and this is the most consistent race car I've ever owned.
It has never failed me and has always brought me back to the trailer under its own power.
This is an honest driver, not a show car. The paint has imperfections, and a previous owner removed the factory vinyl top. It presents well, but I'm describing it honestly so there are no surprises.
Known Issues
• Heater not working
• A/C not working
• Odometer reads just over 55,000 but is inoperative, so actual mileage is unknown.
I wasn't planning on selling this car, but circumstances have made it necessary.
Additional photos and videos are available for serious buyers.
No trades. Cash or cashier's check only. Buyer is responsible for pickup or transportation.
