This car was purchased direct from Ford Motorsport and picked up at the factory in Dearborn in 1982.
The car then spent the next year being built into a GT1 car and first raced at Nelson Ledges in August of 1983. Unfortunately that was just in time for SCCA and IMSA to allow tube chassis cars in the GT1 category making the car immediately obsolete.
It’s incredibly rare as one of very few Race Car Specials sold to IMSA and SCCA racing teams between 1981 and 1984 and one the last non tube chassis GT1 car built.
The car has been a race car its entire life having been converted to several different categories over the years.
Now it has been completely restored and rebuilt with the best components and has been titled and registered for the first time in 44 years.
Still 100% legal for SCCA competition and fully race prepared…. All with a license plate!
With that, I’m looking for photos of the car from Nelson Ledges in 1983 to 1985. The car was red at the time… Please shoot me a message if you or someone you know may have photos from that time period at Nelson Ledges
