Looking for a little bit of history on this car. I bought it a couple years ago. It had been sitting (badly) and needed considerable work.
From what I can gather from the log books it was built in or around 1978 in Ohio and raced in the midwest - primarily Ohio. Since then it's had at least 2 other owners besides me. The car ( & me) are currently in Oregon. I'm not sure who brought it here. cage has been modified since these photos, the suspension upgraded to 5 lug and the original 2.0 has either been worked into what's in it now, or long gone. I think I may have a lead on the original owner / builder but not positive. Many thanks for any info. ![]() |

Send me the logbook number off the front, I may be able to find where/when it was originally issued.
I presume you've looked at the back page for clues? Recognize any driver signatures in the entries? Any chance there's a logbook entry for any SCCA Runoffs? If so, get that info to me (year, mostly) and I can look it up. |

If so, get that info to me (year, mostly) and I can look it up. 24-315 Unfortunately the original log book isn't available (to me) it appears to be on book 3 of which i've got 2 & 3 so no data going back to it's origins. I did get a name and address from the back of the book - did some snooping and have emailed I think the son of the builder. When I've heard back I'll let you know if it's the same family. It's a pretty cool car - well built. Looking forward to getting it back in shape. Looking at VP2 Class in it's current config. I'm toying with the idea of building a 1.8 and running VP1. It would be competitive in that class, especially if I can get heads built with valve sizes that comply. In VP2 it'll be mid-pack at best. Thanks! |
