We won the 2021 VARAC championship in the car & it podiums consistently. My crew is stuffed with former road race professionals & car was maintained to a no-expense professional level. We rebuilt everything in 2025/26 including stripping the car to the bare chassis however the reality is that it is too quick now for this 70 year old road racer. I have been mainly racing my 1965 & 1966 Mustangs that are 20 seconds a lap slower at Mosport/CTMP for the last few years, only running the Panoz occasionally since 2021 (when I feel the need for real speed).
It has been a great car with a low cost of operation (for a V8 tube car) as the suspension components are Coleman (thank Panoz for that) & we have always run pump gas engines.
Motivated seller, car must go. Delivery could be possible. Car is located about 3 hours east of Detroit & 1 hour north of Buffalo.
