What to do with number 42?

[Siberian64]

Hi Folks!
I own Swift 016.a chassis #42 (acquired from Jensen Motorsport in 2010)...
It's in pretty good shape, needing some TLC, engine due for rebuild, etc.
We've used it as a mule for various development projects (mostly electronics/power related).
I'm interested in what the knowledgeable folks in the community think I should do with it. Here's some of my ideas I've been tossing around:

1) Restore back to top, track-ready condition, in the original ChampCar Atlantic spec and then sell (will this qualify for Vintage/Historics?)

2) Sell as is (along with various spares and extras) or part out

3) #1 above but to the current SCCA FA spec and sell or lease

4) Build into a hill climber and run it at Pikes Peak

5) Keep as a development mule (we have some cool concepts - just need funding)

Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hope all of you have a safe Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!

Build it to current spec and race it

We ran our 016 with SVRA a few years ago, AFAIK your car would still be welcome.

Thanks Lotus7 - good to know it can run in SVRA!

Hi Larry,
I checked out the Sandia track when I first moved here in 2017... Overdue for another visit... Would love to get the car ready for the track and come show it off...
