The 358ci V8 has one race on its current build and is backed by a Weismann 5-speed transmission and Winters aluminum-center rear end. An HMSA logbook is included, and this example most recently passed SVRA tech inspection in September 2016. Numerous spares and extras come with the car, including body molds, two sets of wheels, spare bodywork, and the original Fox shocks.
