    Chris:

    I once owned a SCCA legal “semi-monocoque” T-440, with gobs of tricks to stiffen the chassis.

    But THIS is the most splendid example of a drop dead gorgeous race car, no BS.

    Did you do the chassis mods? I briefly owned/restored T440 #101 that has the identical chassis mods. It is also painted yellow and nicknamed the "Flying Banana", now owned by a friend of mine in Charlotte, NC

    The chassis mods were done by JDC Motorsports in Minneapolis. Always like to hear of more yellow race cars out there!

    What is the chassis # of the car you are selling? Here's a couple of pics of her twin sister. During restoration and one after.
