Complete frame-up restoration completed in 1991. Improvements continued, in
the tradition of the last Great Works Rally Cars. They include: Triple
Webers on Chatham inlet manifolds, balanced and ported engine, tuned
ceramic-coated exhaust, Allison electronic ignition, all stainless exhaust
system, enlarged radiator and electric cooling fans, rear disk brakes, Koni
adjustable shocks, zinc-plated steel body parts, leather interior, and a
Motilita steering wheel. The car was disassembled in 2004 and painted with
Basf Glasurit. A truly fun and reliable car to drive. Numerous spare parts,
tools and manuals included. Fully documented. Less than 62,000 original
miles. I've owned this car since 1968!
Pictures can be seen on Barrett-Jackson web site.
