Re: What type of formula car?

I don't know what is considered junk when looking at this tub .. I have delt with far worse off vintage racecars. One of the the things that sparked my interest in this car from the sellers ad was the care that seemed to be taken when car was built / really who would plate the main hoop and weld it ...
