We have recently acquired one of the two chassis used by Michael Andretti during the 87 season while driving for Maury Kraines of Kraco. Michael finished second to Bobby Rahal in the CART championship that year. This car was purchased directly from Kraco in October of 2008 and had been used as the centerpiece of a display in Kraco's trophy room. A letter of provenance from Kraco accompanies the car.
The car is complete except for a battery to power the various lights and instruments. We began the project of bringing it back to life with new master cylinders, etc. In that process, however, we discovered the Cosworth DFX is in need of freshening before it can be raced. I have spoken to Chuck Cornielson at VDS engines about the job. The current owner is upside down after the recent economic downturn and has decided to sell the car to recover his investment and let the new owner get it race ready.
If you would like to own and drive a significant piece of auto racing history, our current economy may work to your advantage. This is your chance to own this impressive car and perhaps race it in the BOSS or USSS for a fraction of what might have been expected only a few months ago.
