Cool car, but I don't know if I'd want to take the chance of getting it beat up on a racetrack.
I've always had a soft spot in my head for those cars.
I would never track one of those... pretty car that deserves better.
I drove that car at Sonoma last weekend. It actually runs really well, and handles decently for something that size, and the brakes are far better than they should be in a car that size. The car had no rust, and the only body damage is a dent in the r door.
It still has nearly all of its interior, and would be really easy to put back to street trim.
Seems like a shame to potentially wreck it. It's not a rare gem, but I figure it's made it this far and it's fairly oddball now. I'd want to see it preserved instead of put through the wringer.
Wow, imagine the fuel it must go through.
