I picked this one up at a salvage auction for $175. The engine is stock, with some bits covered in ford blue via a rattlecan.
The decorative rocker panels below the door are held onto the body with the stainless steel screws, but I actually like the look.
The car is a blast to drive….probably because it has enough body roll to make the owners of civilized european sports cars say, “Oh my God!”
This is what it looks like in the hands of Gerardo Bonilla, a professional ALMS racer.
Here are a few additional pics from auctocrosses:
