I'm restoring it as a Spyder, but only restoring as required to do easy laps or a trip to the store. I am not going to race it competitively because it would run in the same group as my Can Am cars from the mid to late seventies and not even be close to being quick enough for that group.This car has solid rotors, the older style uprights, etc. and I mostly see driving it around for fun rather than race it. I intend to take the coupe (from the coop) and put it on a replica chassis I have and perhaps race that !
The history folder shows it being converted to a coupe. It does have a number. I must resolve a couple of questions to my own satisfaction that will make me as sure as possible that the number goes with this car, but I will say that an "expert " has looked at the car and confirmed it as recorded in the history folder. The chain of ownership is unbroken.
It's not that I don't believe it, but more that I can't believe it.
This car was in a barn, but the owner knew what he had. He just lost interest in it. He had a problem with the fuel cell foam clogging up the fuel system the first time he drove the car. It was disassembled and never driven again.
That was around 1980....!
