Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

McLaren customer car with M8E chassis, F bodywork. One race weekend on fresh Keith Black 509ci engine, original Lucas Kinsler fuel injection. Documented 73 (Pete Sherman) and 74 (Jim Lockhart) Can Am history. Recent chassis and suspension overhaul, good cosmetics and said to be race ready. No chassis number, though.

Market commentary

After deducting the recent race prep and engine, the new owner paid $80 90,000 for the McLaren. Of course, no one with a brain takes a new car out on the track without a thorough checkout, so theres some duplicative effort yet to be done, however on balance this appears to be a good car for the money.
