I'm putting my Bobsy up for sale having decided to hang up my helmet after 20+ years of vintage racing. This car can run with any vintage group in the US. Plus, it's been accepted and raced in the Monterey Reunion the past two years, in 2017 and 2018. I have full history and all log books. Find out more about Bobsy sportsracers at the Bobsy Registry (teamterrificracing.net). Will deliver the car anywhere west of Denver as part of a sale. More info and photos available upon request.
