I am a SVEE nut case. This looks like the real deal imo!

What kind of lap times was it running at Road America out of curiosity?

Thanks

Bill Alsup kicked ass with his

He won both pro Super Vee series’ in 1978 with one — the only driver to ever win both.

I owned the 1978 Alsup JM2 for a number of years. Chassis #20. It is now owned by his two sons.

These cars are the single best handling cars ever! The coke bottle shaped tub is incredibly stiff for its age. Who ever buys this car will not be disappointed. It looks like a stunning example.

Good luck with the sale.

Cheers, Joe

Joe:

I knew about the purchase at the time, and was thrilled to see the car “back home” shortly after you sold it.

Nipper was more thrilled of course, and I’m so very happy they have it back. The car is stunning, I have a couple shots of it in ‘78 I gave to Bill, and now it’s replicated perfectly — and I almost never see that!

My teens and 20s had me lettering or painting over 500 race cars, so I’m impossibly hard to please on most repro paint work... and you nailed it!

Thanks all around, Joe.

Jay it's not just SVs, LOL.

I agree this looks like a really nice car for the money.
