Description
1971 Howe Late Model stock car. This car was purchased from a Howe dealer in 1972 and raced regularly for the next twenty years before being parked. It had many victories on east coast dirt tracks in its life. The restoration was completed in the summer of 05 after two years of work. The chassis set up was done at Howe Racing by Ed Howe and the car drives and handles very well. The car is now set up for asphalt tracks. I am the second owner of this car. I WILL SELL THIS CAR MINUS THE ENGINE, HEADERS, IGNITION, AND TRANSMISSION FOR $12,000.00. WE COULD DISCUSS IF YOU WANTED ONE OF THESE ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
History
From new this car ran dirt tracks up and down the east coast before being retired in the early 90's. Now converted to asphalt it has run in vintage shows in the midwest.
