Car number 18 of only 100 built in South Africa in 1973 as homologation cars, so as to allow the legendary Chevrolet Dealer Team race cars to be built and raced. Whilst the three Dealer Team Cars were massively successful in their short racing careers, none of the three original Dealer Team race cars exist anymore. Approx 38 of the 100 original numbered road chassis remain in the world. Of these cars, five are located offshore and the remainder are in South Africa. Family owned since 1989 and converted to race spec in 1998 as a tribute to the Chevrolet Dealer Team cars, this car is a multiple championship winner that has raced for the last 16 years and is a tough campaigner competing at Killarney, Zwartkops, Kyalami, East London, Aldo Scribante, Wesbank Raceway, Gydo Pass Hillclimb and Knysna Simola Hillclimb. The original matching numbers DZ302 block was damaged in 2011 and the car has since run with a replica engine built to DZ302 spec. The original matching numbers block, original large valve Camel Heads and DZ 302 Intake manifold are included in sale.
