Anything else you care to tell us about, Skip?
This one has me scratching my head, at first i thought it was an 83/84 build, possibly by Gartrac, so well built you cannot find the point the shell was shortened. But i started digging and found it is actually a Series 1 shell, Pre 81, there are subtle differences, also it carries NO vin number, so obviously built from a brand new shell, i wonder was it one of the BL Davenport era cars shortened? Someone somewhere must have seen it rallied through the 80`s and 90`s.
