Default short version

Bill Andrews built it in '06 for Michael Laurer who's an accomplished pro driver (Gentilozzi Racing, LeMans etc.). Ernie Elliot-built engine, stroked 351M block to 358. Yates heads, T10 gearbox, ATL fuel cell, Franklin quick-change differential, inboard brakes. Excellent blue body with painted-on USRRC stripes and hood meatball. Initial drive by owner/racer down at Charlotte indicated way too much power (original dyno at 750hp) so Elliot de-tuned it (cam/carb). Car was then used briefly as an exhibition vehicle back when Shelby announced his Continuation Series. It did a show stint at Elkhart Lake as well. Never raced or on-track again. Car then sold to gentleman in Ct. who sent it through the Atlantic City exotic/collector car auction where it was purchased by gentleman who I bought it from. There you have it, straight from Bill Andrews.....

So, does anyone want to gather up for a drive to PGC when the weather warms up (or before)?

Bill
