Here is your chance to race NORRA. or any other vintage race. One of a kind Funco - "Staggered Tandem" for sale with paid NORRA 500 entry, hotel rooms and chase crew (if desired). I will sell the car only ($16K) without the entry, hotels, etc also Here are the details:
Up for sale is this iconic, one of a kind, NORRA racecar, a proven winner with multiple podium finishes in both the NORRA 1000 and 500. This car was first raced in the Baja International (500) in 1976. It started life as a Funco Bandito two seat car and was stretched to make it a tandem seat arrangement. I converted it to a “staggered tandem” so that the back seat is offset and the co-driver is in a better position to see out and have plenty of legroom. I reproduced the all the decals from the original car as well as the paint scheme.
