Default Bringing This Morrison Race Car Back to Life

Used by Tommy Morrison to emulate ZR-1 aerodynamics and LT5 torque for GM Development. Raced at Sebring.

Narrow


Rear fender flares added.


Final widened form.


The car was yellow and evolved over time, eventually running IMSA/GTO. It was white when entered at Sebring in its final race.

Morrison-Cook Flying Tigers livery

I will most likely restore it to the yellow livery.

I love the wheel fans. You don't see them very often. I would restore the car to the white. It's something different.

The nice thing with race car restoration is that you have choices. Just pick a race.

Any pictures of the car as it now exists?

I have the bare chassis and original body panels from Tommy. Just need a donor suspension and driveline, not to mention everything else. lol It'll be a fun build.
