FOR SALE: Asking $19,000 CAD

The car was originally built off the showroom floor by Franz Blam Racing for Motorola Cup/Speedvision Cup racing.  Car was purchased from Paul Swinwood, who campainged it in the GT Sprints series in 2006.

Cage and chasis is Prepared legal, but other stuff is not. Car is DM legal and competitive (won DM class at Sebring Winterfest 2009, and finished 5th in the 6hr Enduro ... 42 sec off 3rd place 'casue we almost ran out of gas!). Also a great GT-3 class contender, and PERFECT for the new GT Challenge series!

This car is very well sorted and runs a 1:33.x at Mosport and 2:19.x at CMP on 235 Toyo R888s. Many spares will be included. Turn key race car ... needs absolutely no work to go racing.
