Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Crashed by Vic Elford driving for Roy Woods at Laguna Seca in 1971. Later restored with a replacement tub by Benton Bryan, powered by a Keith Black aluminum Chevy with Lucas fuel injection. An orderly vintage racecar not used in a few years.

Market commentary

It would probably cost as much as the high bid here to get this car thoroughly checked before experiencing its prodigious power, let alone campaign it on a few historic race weekends. For its performance (and presence) anything close to the reported bid would be modest indeed.
