I hate to see this car go but I've bought a modern Formula Ford and need to free up some space in the garage. The car could use some fibreglass work to fix a few minor cosmetic issues with the body but, otherwise the car is like new and is race ready. I will consider parting with the 16' tandem trailer used for hauling the car.

Thanks.

Yes, still for sale.

Sold and gone to a good home in the Portland area.
