Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Dyno only 305 Chevy, Avon race rubber. Originally a Team VDS Interserie car driven by Teddy Pilette, then to OZ and UK. Continuously raced and shows it. Some cracks, chips and stone damage. Engine may have run OK on the dyno but needs tuning now.

Market commentary

Historic Can Am cars are no longer the flavor of the year and this is a very realistic bid for a car without a name driver history at least a name driver in North American racing, not to demean Mr. Pilettes considerable talents. Its probably race ready, but $110 130,000 is about all the American market will bear these days for a 5 liter M8E like this, especially one that pops and farts when it runs.
