Suspension is completely balanced/tuned professionally this off season (Westwood) and the Chop at Glamis almost un-noticable, additionally whoops are not a problem.

PLEASE READ ABOUT the PHOTOS: This car was one of 50 Cars (est.) built by Mike Monahan most were race cars, most went to Australia where they were popular because of their handling. So for the history of the car I have included extra photos of other cars with the same chassis design. The FIRST TWO PHOTOS LISTED ARE OF THE CAR THAT IS FOR SALE. This ACECO has been through several upgrades as I have owned and used it, now it is the best it has ever been just as I have decided to sell it. I did not take enough photos during the upgrades.
Also Doug Fortin approved of the paint to put on this car as a tribute paint scheme to his Class 1 car (see gallery).

For clarity: I am not claiming this as a car that Doug raced. I was one of his early customers buying a Fortin that worked perfect- in a different car-and this cars livery is a tribute to Dougs' FIVE time Baja 1000 wins. THIS car was thought it was one of his previous cars. Doug Fortin and Senior both signed the car on the hood and the underside of the roof panel.

The new owner gets a great slice of history that comes along with this Race car, Sand car or Pre-runner. Enjoy the car with pride, as people often comment on Doug's Iconic Flaming Fortin paint scheme (photos included in gallery). Requests for static displays come often.

Many things I probably forgot- Like..... Race radio, fresh air system, comes with 2 AFR systems one with the computer and a back up that always displays, it is a stand alone Air-Fuel- Ratio with a BIG LED display. Tire and parts rack, Spare tire and wheel with beadlock - Holley Terminator X Max ECU - Fast Intake. high flow "Y" air intake system- King Pro series shocks triple by-pass on every corner with remote reservoirs (under front bonnet)- Onboard Fire suppression system, Balance bar adjustable pedal for front to rear proportioning adjustment.... Probably more , just come see it.
