Default Greenwood Cars at Carlisle

Hi,
Here are 2 of John Greenwood's Sebring race cars, and a 3rd road race car.
Up close it becomes evident how seriously they were modified for racing.
Love the Traco motor!
Regards,
Alan

Not much of any 'factory' stuff left on the Greenwood cars.

And to think back in the 70's Greenwood would build a RACECAR for you for 18,000 dollars. If you want to hear that Traco engine roar go to YouTube and you can find a video.
