Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 335 cu.in. Kinsler injected Chevy, Hewland LG 600 5 speed. Curious history. Sold new to South America where it apparently never raced, brought to the States in 89 by Phil Reilly then traded around a bit, undergoing two restorations before 93, with 13 races since. Very professiolly presented with excellent cosmetics and appears prepared to very high race ready standards with recent history that evidences Big Block performance.

Market commentary

Without period racing history this is not an easy car to sell, however its high level of presentation and demonstrated competitiveness indicate itll be a valued addition to any Can Am grid. Can Am cars seem to bring about twice the price of F5000 rides with similar performance, reflecting the aura that surrounds the Can Am.
