Europa Daytona
« on: Tuesday,January 01, 2013, 05:55:22 AM »
This is a confusing one.  What do you do with it?  And yet.......appealing to bring back to race trim.  It would be a project of love cuz you'll never see the money back in the bank.

I saw this on Bring-a-trailer this morning. Interesting car. It would take a ton of work (and money) to bring it back to life, but might well be worth the effort.

Very interesting indeed. It would be wonderful if the original race engines were included with the sale. Very cool...
