I built this GTO in the mid 80's. This pic is of a guy in Florida who I traded for a Corvette. He ran a couple of races with it, wasn't cut out to be a class racer, and we traded back. I later sold it to a guy in Finland where he won the Championship and finished 3rd in the Swedish Championship. He later sold it and that guy won both championships the next year. At the time in Finland, they ran no break-out and that's why he wanted my car because of how far under it ran. Sweden ran like we do. When Russia opened up, the first guy that owned it took it there along with four other cars and a drag bike. They sent me a Russian military hat, a Ruble, and their version of Hot Rod magazine which did a four page article on it. As far as I know, the car is still in Finland. This GTO has some rich history so come up some time and I'll share it with you.
