Old number 11, driven by Terry Visger in the 70s. Guy has parts to take it back to the original Huffaker design. At 35 grand, it's not cheap. But look at what you would have!

Paul, where did you find that?
The last time I talked to him, Terry was still in the San Jose area.
And it's <u>Visger</u>, BTW. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Worked a charm, Paul.
It's interesting to see that my original throttle cable solution is still around after all these years!

I presume that is a '76, not 1967 as stated in the ad (did they have time travel back then?)

I think Huffaker built the car in the mid 70s. So 76 sounds reasonable. Hap would likely know. But also, the car is not in it's original form. Even so, I can't see them changing the grill though. The unique thing about this deal is, the owner has all the parts to return it to original, if someone wanted to go through a total restoration. Lotta work. I think I would leave it as is.
 
The factory Huffaker cars were built on pull handle early chassises, and made to look like the later car for BL request to promote the current product, the front cowls were even modified to accept the later dash. He,he probably the only exmaples of MGB going from CB to RB, but this was for advertising. Rick Estes has had the #11 car for about 20 years, Don Small coil overed it back in the early 80s, it was also rolled by its fourth owner (Gregory was his last name) at one of the last races at Riverside. it's the real deal, but once you fiqure Rick selling price with what the original restoration would cost and you are headed well beyond $100,000. Eddie had $65,000 in restoring #9, and it was in near perfect condition, #11 needs lots of work to reverse it back to orignal specs, and there probably only a hanful of people in the world that even know what to do to it to put it back original specs. It will get done one day for sure by someone with really deep pockets.
