Bought by the current owner in 1990 who had it fully restored at RM Motorsports in 2002 in the Puma livery it was raced in in 1987. 

He did only a few events since then with the car.  Probably a total of four vintage races and a few test sessions over the years.  So this car is still very fresh. The car became eligible and was last raced at the prestigious Monterey Rolex event a few years ago. 

The whole car was fully checked through again before sending it out to race that weekend including rebuilding the fuel cell, all corners, turbo's, wheel bearings and a complete engine out service.  The car is as stunning as when it was written up as "the pick of the litter" by the Vintage Motorsport magazine .  Often called one of the best-looking GTP chassis ever produced.

The owner bought it directly from Jim Mullen who had purchased the car new and had Kalagian campaign it with a few different drivers like Kemper Miller, John Andretti etc. 

They only did four races in 1987 and the two had a falling out and two years later the current owner bought the car after watching it go through a restoration in 1988 at Tom Milner Racing in Winchester VA only an hour from his home. 

The ALBA's brought F1 technology to GTP/Group C racing by being the first carbon fiber chassis GTP/Group C cars.  Almost everything on the car is all titanium.  With only four pro events and about four or so by the current owner, the chassis and the whole car is pretty fresh.  The twin turbo Buick starts on the first crank and idles and runs beautifly and is very inexpensive to rebuild and race.  The engine only has six hours on it.  It produces over 700 HP at one bar at 7200 RPM.

There are a good amount of spares (set of extra wheels, front foot box, engine fire wall, fuel cell, many suspension parts all gold anodized titanium.
