Richard,
The car was not built by the Greenwoods. It was built by one of the Greenwood dealers from Long Island. His name is Skip Panzarella. He raced the car for years. It has been raced all over the country. I bought the car from it's 3rd owner. It is a Greenwood body wrapped around a tube frame very much like the Greenwood cars. There were only about 12 of the "official" Greenwood race cars built over the years. Even though the car is a 1972, it has been running around 2nd & 3rd in the national SCCA GT1 races, against the modern cars. It has adustable everything as far as the suspension goes. The only drawback is that I can't get rid of the single leaf spring rear because of the historic thing. I need to work on my driving more than the car anyway!

BTW, any ideas on where I can get a hold of BFG tires from the BFG Trans Am series?
Supposedly they are still very grippy, but hold up better as far as wear. They are supposed to be a lot more forgiving as far as flat spotting goes. I'd rather not pay $1000 for a new set of Hoosiers for each track session.
