Cool deal - I'd put it back together as raced, just make sure everything works so it's street legal.

Interesting oil pan...looks to be for a dry sump.

Buy a pair of fenders - paint it 73 Admiral Blue metallic and put a 73 nose piece on it. Drive it like all hell just broke loose every chance you get.
Pictures would look nicer without that sloppy spit can sitting on the trailer. Or were you drinking that stuff ?

Very nice find. The fact that it hasnt ever been titled makes the car worth a lot in my eyes.....At first i might think that a restoration might be in order, in race trim or factory.

this car has a lot of work done to it a full cage herb addams front and rear bars all aluminum bushings in the front end nascar 4 piston calipers and rotors 79 t/a 3:23 posi disc rear and adjustable shocks allaround. the interior [realy nothing in there except the colum and a cordoba racing seat] is painted grey and the entire subframe firewall rad support and underside of the car is painted black. i can not see a speck of rust anywhere on this car. the only thing it is missing is the front fenders[which i am looking for] also the inside of the passanger door has been cut out which is a shame because the door if perfect otherwise so i will need one of these.i just noticed the original mileage of this and it is only 19,000. i will post some better pics of this tommorow when i can start digging through things and get the car cleaned out, i was realy tired after a 12 hour day getting this home , every time i came out of the truck after loading there was another pile in the driveway for me this went on for 4 hours!! and i will still have to make another trip back to pick up the other stuff[3 more engines two rears and who knows what else? one more thing this was a first for me i had made the deal on this for 2500 he was asking 3000 this was over the phone after just seeing a few pics when i got there i gave him the 3000!!!!!!!! he was realy a great guy to deal with he even threw in a bunch od old dealer promo stuff from his dads pontiac dealership {see side of car] sorry this is so long .

Was a National SCCA Tech Inspector for 11 years. There should be a log book with all of the Tech sign-offs, when the car raced, and at what tracks. Would give you a really nice history on the car.
Congrats of getting the car. A friend of mine has the Herb Adams Appliance Wheel Silver Bird race car. Herb was a good racer. Tom V.

It's funny that Tom mentioned the Adams Silverbird...I was searching around the Internet to see if I could find any pictures of the car you bought; I couldn't find it anywhere but I did find this cool picture of the Silverbird from the 1978 Trans Am race at Mosport.
