You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

I would leave it as it is right now forever.
If it was over restored, the stroy might get lost.

Then again, we have all of these lovely pictures.

F5000 was a pukka formula for large Cojones, was it not

Have a look about, see how much a mint one is worth (IF you can find one) That may get the juices going!

Not so much barn fresh as free range.

One of the F5000 cars that were given erstaz sports car body kits to allow them to race in CanAm, the regs for which had been revised to reduce costs because CanAm had run out of entrants

I like it!

I've taxed worse. Bit of air in the tyres and she'll be right

They sell (complete) for £100K plus so $45K in that condition isn't expensive

Restored it is definately £100K plus, maybe more in the States.

I'd imagine you'd be buying that one for yourself as there can't be much of a profit available once restored!





It's Evolution Baby!

looks a bid like some shell bidding going on though.

Check out the 0 rated users bids...

I;d be gutted if it sold for $XXk only for it to be a zero rated who doesnt show up.
