Hi,
we are looking for a 356A racecar.
It must be an A to qualify for the series he want to run in.

Any location in the states is ok.

Prefer turn key car, or little post season work..

Contact Rich Johnson -
He knows of a guy here in Dallas who had full blown 356 racecar here in Dallas for sale - Don't know if it was an "a"...
He had a buyer who sold his Mini racecar out of S.D. to buy this car... The buyer backed out of the sale because the car scared him so bad... Apparently it is VERY fast -

Cool car, but ugly roll bar.

Not so ugly when it is a grab bar for three lovely lasses.
