Description:
Wonderful competetive FJ with rich history in West Coast vintage racing. Owned and raced for may years by Stan Petersen, the car is in beautiful condition and is fastidiously mainainted. Hewland Mk gearbox rebuild by John Anderson at Sonoma Raceway in 2014 and the engine received a ground up rebuild by Dave Vegher (Veloce Motors West) in early 2016 with complete new Richardson head, valves, cam, lifters, pistons etc etc etc, dynod at 120hp. The engine has 3 event weekends on it and pulls strongly to 8800 rpm. It is very competetive even with my mediocre driving skills with 1:56 at Sonoma Raceway. My racing interests have changed and I need to move on with the Cooper. It will be entered in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca which will be honoring Formula Junior this August. I'll run the car there if not sold by then. This car should be an easy ticket into this premier West Cosast vintage event, in addition to the numerous events in the UK and Europe. Included are molds for the body panels, suspension jigs, spare radiator, extra (short) nose.
