Peanut gallery here, but if you are interested to test the market reaction on the car, maybe one of the guys on here like Dykstra or Steve could put you in touch with Ashton to get the car into the barn find section.

If it's possible, it goes without saying if you spent any money now it would be to buy back original parts to the car if they are known.

I had this car in my files as a KNOWN car. Had it always had the X in the "known" section on the first page of the site? Either way, it's great that it's now getting the opportunity to be seen and dissected. I noticed in one of the OPs original posts that he thought going all the way back to stock would be the direction to go. I would disagree. Whatever its first race appearance attire should be the direction to take it. Again, great car and congrats!

Still trying to get a straight answer if there is a deal on the car.

Curious what a car like this is worth!

The hopes and dreams upended and dominated by the almighty dollar. Hold fast and restore the car yourself.
