I've watched this car the last year as the last owner tried to sell...
1 I've never seen anything that says GM had anything to do with
it...ENGINEER BUILT IT ONLY
2 I'm surprised no one remembers Bob Coffin [ Dr Yenko] owned and raced
this car on ROAD COURSES..
3 I only know of 2 v8 Crown kit Vairs that do well at AX's......they are
normally ROAD CARS..think Ferrari / Corvette, etc..
4 Between Kemler, Coffin and Marshall [ last owner 10 yrs], I believe
$250k has been invested......to bring the car to where it sets today
5 The drivetrain is capable of holding the 600hp.....remember Harlan
Coburn runs a supercharged 383" SBC in SCCA Solo! [ transaxle built by Steve
Goodman!!!]
6 The car is capable of 150+ mph...and has been track driven and highway
driven at those speeds...and has been driven most likey 20k miles with the last
owner, including San Diego to Flagstaff in July [ 103 F]
7 Marshall is now into Off Road racing because of no real place to run the
car regularily! Common in SoCal! Why I no longer own my HKS Turbo Supra and
my Crown car has 4.11 overall gearing [ 115 mph TS]
And YES! This seller is a DEALER and knows how to run an auction......1st
bids were $5k! bet it goes to 40k!
