If the Log Book show that this ran in the Sports Sedans in the 80s, then this car has history .
Good chance to do some research, get a ready built car and have fun with Historic Sports Sedans.
Check with the coordinators before you hit the bid button.

Was built 87, ran Puke 1989, Baypark, Taupo through to 1993.
Then next raced at Levels.
This would be excellent ready to run-fit your own motor- race car,
After speaking to him, he has now put up some early pix.
Genuine car, real history.
The pic from Baypark ,I was at this meeting ,remember it was first time out for the Camaro

Research shows iMac Workman raced it in the Sport Sedans at the Hansells Round.
As such can join the grid so long as it has period running gear.
So if you want to join Historic Sports Sedans, heres a neat bit of kit.
As Willis built it , then supporting documents could get this a Schedule K

Car sold for $18,555 to some one in Franklin.
As someone who knows what it costs to build a car, heres an authentic one, very good buying.
Could be a chance to see it run up here again.
