Doug:

It is and it did. The owner was trying to get his "$100K" back out of the car's purchase, restoration, engine / tranny rebuild, pie-in-the-sky and whatever else can be thrown in there. He was / is a Type-A perfectionist and spent way too much $ on detailing the car ... especially b/c he put it on the track. Also, Auto Associates is near the TOP of the cost chart (and quality) on resto work.

Believe it or not, it is street legal ... through not very comfortable. Drove it on Interstate 84 for about 60 miles several years ago ... with megaphones

Another HSR racer had it as a street car for a while. It was "on consignment" displayed in his friend's Rhode Island P-car dealership recently. Eventually, it ended up back in CT in a garage and was occasionally driven on the street. That CT owner had back problems ... couldn't take the rough ride ... etc... and presto, a track ready, proven winning LH ready to get "exercised".
