Description of 1970 Other Makes Can Am Race Car

Please Before Bidding, I will only accept bids from Ebay Members with a long history with 100% user rating. All other bids will be removed. Thank You.
This Can Am race car is a rare piece of history. It was built in the early 1970's to replicate the Lola/McLaren race cars of the time to race in the Can Am Series. Most of the parts on the car date from the 60s and 70s even the tires. During the 80s, the car was resurrected to race in Group C and was modified with the same specs as a Porsche 962 so that the body measures 77 inches wide, 178 inches long and 40 inches tall.It wont take much to turn this into a street legal Porsche 962 replica which is very very rare since not many have ever been produced and only 1 or 2 companies ever made them.
So lets get down to the car. Whats included is a Porsche 962 Carbon Fiber tail from "From A Racing", carbon fiber front end from a Chevy Spice, Aluminum doors and side panels. The car never raced in the 80s and the owner gave up on the project. Currently the only piece missing from the car is the Porsche 962 front end which the previous owner sold it back in the 90s but the car does come with a carbon fiber front end from a Chevy Spice. The rest of the car is complete except for the Seats, Harness, and any safety equipment. I purchased the car about 20 years ago and performed a complete chassis restoration. All components of the car were removed to be either replaced or restored. All the coolant and stainless steel braided lines were replaced. The complete harness was removed and rebuilt using all new wiring. Transmission, Engine, and Brakes were all rebuilt.
The only thing that wasn't done to the car was the final cosmetic work to the body which includes body work, paint and modification or replacementof the carbon fiber nose. Car runs and drivers really well
