And to think . . . I use to own and raced one of these jewels.
I sold it for peanuts! Back in the day, these were giant killers,
depending on the track. The handling was superb.
Thanks for posting this. I'm still drooling on my keyboard.

Wow you must be so pissed, watching a car you sold for peanuts sell for 3.3 mil. I bet that's the greatest regret of your life.
