Equipment
Goodyear slicks, BBS modular wheels, 358/650hp small-block, fire system.
Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Was on pole at both Daytona and Sebring. Finished second at Sebring. Driven by Bobby Rahal, Jim Trueman and Bruce Canepa. Restored in 2010 to original specs. Shown and raced since and in lightly used race car condition. Small chips, scratches and cracks here and there, but in pretty good shape. Presumably would be easier to keep running than the equivalent Porsche turbo. The fuel cell bladders are due for replacement.
Market commentary
Sold here in 2017 in pretty much the same condition for $192,500 and bought this year for a comparable price, surprisingly at the top of Mecum's pre-sale estimate range of $150,000-$200,000. Due for thorough mechanical checking as well as the new fuel tank bladders but eligible for some enjoyable events, a realistic price for its performance and history.
