History:
A
very unique and special racing prototype, this car
is one of only two built by
the famous Marvin Webster of the Webster Gear Company
in Mill Valley, CA. It was intended
to be raced by the late Tony Settember in the USRRC
Series in 1965, but CanAm prevailed with its unlimited
rules, and this car was never raced in period. The
body was hand-formed by Jack Hagemann and the entire
car weighs only 1250 lbs. It is a very competitive
car in many vintage events and has been in it's current
owners possession since 1983. It has been raced in
numerous important US vintage car events and never
damaged.
Condition:
Excellent
overall condition. Car was restored from the ground
up in 1985, and maintained in mint condition since.
The special Olds engine is a bored and stroked 215
CID and was completely rebuilt by Ron Shaver in 2001
using Moldex crank, Carillo rods and new pistons
and has not been used since. Car has 4 downdraft
Webers, dry sump, alloy heads, ZF 5-speed gearbox
and Eisert-designed suspension. Upswept exhaust and
alloy body make this a very unique race car. Comes
complete with spares package.
