This car has been setup for WGI but might also make a good AutoX car. Still street legal, horn not functional. The body is in excellent shape. Small dents and dings do exist. Salvage title, but has passed a NYS DMV exam. I'm not 100% clear on what caused the salvage title, the car looks pretty straight. Professionally tuned suspension by Ekstens Autoworks, weighed in at 2687 with 200# driver. I have in car video from WGI that I would be happy to share.
