Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

302-cid Chevy motor. Spare car for Sam Posey when new, second at ARRC in 1970, then three wins with Merle Brennan and further success in SCCA Formula A, ultimately restored by Wes McNay and Henry Alexander with its original monocoque.

Condition

Neat and orderly in sharp, but used, historic racing condition.

Market commentary

"Close" and "close enough" are very different terms at the auction. The reported high bid for the M10A probably should have been "close enough" to seal a deal.
