My wood chassis 3-litre (Ford V-6) GT has not been driven since my back operation in 1988 and has not been started since 2002.� All original, with minor modifications made by pit mechanics in Indianopolis in 1972 (and air scoop under the radiator, a fan behind the radiator to pull air through, an electric fuel pump to help with starting).� Mag wheels (with Michelins, but they'd need to be replaced).� It's probably a project car now, though it wouldn't take much to get it back on the road.� I had hoped to be able to drive it again, especially since its exempt from smog certificates out here in Southern California, but I've come to realize I won't be able to climb back in it (I'm an ex-Navy fighter pilot, so it took me a long time to admit my new physical limitations).� It's been garaged since 1980, so the wood chassis is fine.� If you're interested, let me know.

Hey folks.� I've been bitten by the Marcos bug and am looking for a GT or similar for vintage racing.� Anyone on this list racing their Marcos? So, it doesn't have to have a great paint job, interior, etc.� But I would like it to be unadulterated.� I'd love to find one of the Triumph-based engines as I already know the Triumph TR6 and have a TR builder.�� Were those ever exported to the USA?� Otherwise a light-framed (wood) would be my prefence.� I'm located in Greenville, South Carolina.� Any leads or advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck Watson
