Help with possible March 822 body

[SpiritRacingCNC]

Hello guys I'm newly registered here but I've been looking for years. I would like some help ID'ing this formula car body. I bought it last night from a lady that didn't know what car it belonged to. I've done tons of picture searching of vintage formula cars and sports racers from the late 70's and early 80's. In my opinion I think it belongs to a March 822 formula 2 / formula Atlantic car. Here are some pictures. I know they are terrible but just bear with me. I can take some some tonight if these are to bad.

I bought it with the intention of using it for a body for a home built formula hill climb car but I might just have it painted in the Parmalat livery and hang it from the garage ceiling.

The woman's husband ran a prep shop in NY and was involved with Bob Sharp racing. That's all I know about it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any history of the panels would be awesome too.

The black complete car picture were taken from britishracecar.com from Justin Frick's build thread. And the red from google search.

You are right about that. Plus I love the look of it. Of course I'd have to find or fabricate a nose cone but I don't think it would be to much trouble.

you should try to contact Justin Frick this was all in his hands about 7 years ago when he sold it complete with engine to the race shop you are referring to. her late husband sold the engine then she sold the car about 18 months ago. she must have held back some of the parts in the sale which you have now bought
the car was run in Atlantic series not F2 (not ever) (urban myth)
Justin will be able to tell you all as he owned, made and repaired everything in that 82A sale

Wow thank you for the response. Pretty much everything I wanted to know. Very cool even though it didn't run in F2. I was checking out Justin's build. Very impressive. I will probably end up using it for my build then.

Thank you again
