Title: Our latest grab - '79 2.3 road racer
Post by: hydrodriver on July 18, 2010, 08:33:09 PM
Won't go into the details, but this was the buy of the century.
Got the car, a 2010 SCCA inspection, on Goodyear slicks, new set of Dunlop rain tires (mounted), new fuel cell bladder, ready to race.  For spares, got 2 trannys, a rear end, 5 set of brakes, 2 fenders, hood, trunk lid, boxes of odds and ends, a second seat, etc.  Plan just to run vintage after we get to a driver's school.
Have put headlights, turn signals, horn, etc. to make it legal for street use.  Has a Super Trapp muffler so it isn't all that loud.  Live across the street from a state cop and he says go for it, will carry a Wisconsin Hobbist registration.
I will add pix as soon as I figure out how - - -

Great find and  :welcome:
Love the old road racers and it sounds like a good time! The vintage racing series is great.
There is a post somewhere on here that details how to submit pics, they need the be shrunk down most of the time.
