Car is currently for sale in Houston, TX. Considered buying it, any value to this or a money pit?

The SCCA took over the weekend Amateur Slalom wars around the Country! The Texas and Oklahoma regions had some really high end stuff! This is one of those club racers! At some of those events, they did run at some tracks! They also mimicked the SoCal Corvette drags, holding their own events. I have seen this car before in print! Don’t know where, and I am not going thru 10,000 magazines to find it! I like the one Hot Rod or Car Craft issue in the 1970s with the radical Texas club racers! I have seen many shots of Texas or that region over the years! There cars were as developed as any anywhere!

I will look thru some ad stuff for Dyncor as I think they were popping fiberglass products! For results, I have always passed on buying old other region, club literature and results, unless something fell in my lap!

Interesting, but I don't see any value. What could you do with it when you got it back together? You couldn't turn it back into a road car. Not realistically anyway. And no title. This is yard art.

If this was in the MidWest, I would be over there with a trailer and 3k in cash tomorrow. It’s not yard art. It’s a a great vintage race project. I don’t want a done car, because I’m going completely take everything apart before braking in a corner at 100 mph. I would try to preserve as much of the patina as possible. I think it would look just fine next to my 72 survivor.
