Maybe the builders are more skilled at making a pretty body and deciding what paint and polish to use than they are at determining the fundamentals required to make them be competitive? |

History: A very unique and special racing prototype, this car is one of only two built by the famous Marvin Webster of the Webster Gear Company in Mill Valley, CA. It was intended to be raced by the late Tony Settember in the USRRC Series in 1965, but CanAm prevailed with its unlimited rules, and this car was never raced in period. The body was hand-formed by Jack Hagemann and the entire car weighs only 1250 lbs. It is a very competitive car in many vintage events and has been in it's current owners possession since 1983. It has been raced in numerous important US vintage car events and never damaged.
