Major restoration 2018-2024. The car comes with a tremendous amount of spare parts and accessories, historical car information, schematics, instructions, systems diagrams, documentation, receipts, etc. A unique opportunity to track or race a GTP/Camel Lights car with history from the pinnacle era of sportscar racing.
This chassis 102 was one of 7 built for the Camel Gt series by Argo-Anglia in England. Sponsored by Buick, it ran 10 Camel GTP races in 1984-85 including the Daytona 24 Hours, with its best GTP finish 4th.

The car was driven by Charles Morgan, Bill Alsup, Whitney Ganz and later owned by HANS device co-developer and Argo Camel Lights champion Jim Downing. The cockpit fits my 6’1” 185# frame.
