Default Vintage SCCA Race car with history !

1964 -1982 C2- C3 Vintage race car with history


This car was raced back in the 60’s by Keith Nelson as the #53 in Ca. Purchased by the legendary Ken Yeo and raced as the #53 and as the # 35 when it was reconfigured with the famous red white and blue livery. Ken and his wife Patti Yeo ran quite successfully with this car throughout Ca in the 60’s and 70s, and 80s.

In the early 80s Ken converted the C2 race car Trans Am specs. Including a C3 birdcage and a Greenwood style light weight wide bodied race car. I believe Larry Park was involved in this transformation and drove the sister car to victories as well. It ran successfully in many local races and Trans Am races in the mid 80s by both Ken and Patti Yeo, claiming many victories.

The car then traded hands minus drive train, about 3 times in about 20 years. Spending most of its time in Northern California and then South Florida. It still retains the Trans Am logs as well.

The car is extremely good original condition. The frame is rust free with no pitting or scaling. It shows no signs of any major damage. The body is complete and intact. It is also extremely light weight. The front and rear clip are easily removable. The doors and hood are also lightweight. The car has the frame reinforced in the critical suspension areas. The car still sits on the original 15x 10 3 piece wheels. A set of the 16’’ original wheels are available for an outside party as well as a complete correct spare wide body.

Here’s a list of the new parts the car now has on it. Most the parts are new from Vette Brakes and Products in Florida, the others items are new from other vendors. New rear end 3:70 posi with big block spindles and half shafts, new offset trailing arms, big J56 brakes and rotors, performance pads, new performance multileaf rear spring, new a arms, solid bushings, ball joints and front end, new steering box, 4 new QA1 shocks ,and coils springs. New ATL fuel cell, approximately 35 gallons, so it can run endures with out stopping if necessary. It has new lightweight front and rear windows as well.

Many pictures are available. Email me at offshore241@aol.com or call me at 561 632 9706 with any questions.

Me too.........the guy jerked around, lied, was misleading, said he sent the wire, but would never provide the transfer number etc.

Hmmm, maybe I should post his name....so no one else gets burned by him



I have NEVER had good luck selling cars on ebay.

But I have had good luck selling on this form.
