GT-40's would be in the ball park except for the J car. Rick L. Ps 198 is almost all orginial alot of the others have been restored to original. Paint repairs, and nose repair are all that was done to 198 with 50 years of racing. Even the orginial motor is back in it at SAAC 31 in VIR. Not alot of cars can say this.  |
The value of this car dropped like a brick after it was pushed into the weeds at SAAC31 by some old dude w/ a beard.
Dick was a great driver and quite the gentleman. He is sorely missed.
