Equipment
327ci Chevy V8, fuel injection, Huffaker transmission, disc brakes, Autometer gauges, Jegs valve cover breather, red and blue anodized braided stainless hoses throughout, painted and polished Panasport wheels. Period photos suggest interesting race history but no other documentation provided. Paint and bodywork solid save waviness in the left rear fender. Very little Cooper Monaco left. What remains was rebuilt with parts from the Nascar section of the local auto parts store. A historic racer drowning in go fast, boy racer bits.
Market commentary
This project car was the stuff of dreams; a historic race car with intriguing history and in period photos. Why then, were these considerable attributes ignored during its restoration Had it resembled the black and white pictures in any way, the Cooper would have attracted more interest and money. Instead it looked like a replica and waited for real Cooper money. Its going to be a tough sell for anything near what the consignor is signalling will make it move on.
