Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Center driving position, mid engine, full envelope fiberglass body, tube frame. Built initially in the Fifties by Emil Pupulidy on Long Island with work by Frick Motors (when not building cars for Briggs Cunningham). Raced since 1958, then restored five years ago with 150hp Vic Skirmants Porsche engine. In beautiful, sharp, well maintained condition showing some vintage racing use since restoration (including a race win at the Monterey Historics).

Market commentary

This is an impressive survivor from the very earliest years of sports car racing in the U.S. with notable specifications, demonstrated competitive performance and very attractive appearance. It will be welcome at any vintage event in North America and will reward its new owner with exceptional performance and paddock presence at a realistic price.
