    bone stock and probably almost new. Shot was taken before he stripped it and turned it into a racecar. Notice the coupe seats ordered in a GT speedster!

            After it was decomissioned as a race car old 84925 was robbed of its 4-cam engine along with other various 4-cam GT related components. (front drums look like stock 40mm units by the length of the center cone) Here is the car as found by Tim in a barn in New Canaaan CT.
