Was wondering if this is my car from a long time ago? Not many of these in central Canada, let alone central Ontario. I sold it to a young kid whose dad owned the indoor cart facility near Toronto airport. The kid was subsequently badly injured in a dirt track car and his racing was over many years ago - the VD ended up hanging on the wall of the cart track for many years. It has closed down, and nobody seems to know where the car went.

cheers,

this is not that car, but, my son raced a vd85 the back story was similar to this, was hanging on a wall, but it was a 2000 with wings and slicks, this familiar?

double Weber's is surely one way to make a mid-80's VD faster :D
