About this Previous Vehicle:

This Formula was originally a magazine project car for GM High Tech Performance, owned by then-Editor Johnny Hunkins. It went thru a series of articles, including the stroker build, Baer brake installation, Hotchkis suspension, etc... during its life in the spotlight. I bought the car without the engine and brakes, to build into an LS1 powered toy. Since the car was from the Northeast, the body and underside had more rust than I wanted to deal with, so I sold the car to the next happy owner.
