Hey Mac, yep, one and the same. Sounds like a fun deal to me. Let me know if I can help.

I have a wonderfully worn and comfortable saddle interior and hate the look of brand new seats or re dyed seats.
   I am looking for a used black interior. The original leather was very nice and no longer available.

Actually, the MKIV is perfect for many US events. HSR and SVRA allow them as do big events like the KIC or HAWK.
   What region of the country are you in ? I could suggest some events.
   Can you put 15" wheels on the car and still clear the brakes ?
   This would allow the use of Goodyear Blue Streaks which is sort of the common race tire.
   Lots of fun to be had vintage racing...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry to seem non-responsive but I am at Disney World for a couple days. The rotors are warped and have been since the late 1990s when I ran this as a track car. I installed brake cooling ducts too late. I really only need front rotors or perhaps could turn them. The car only has a few thousand miles on it. I do not know much about the car except that it was originally a "stand in" for a damaged CSX competition car and when that car was finally actually restored this car was sold on and became a level three fiberglass replica-meaning that the whole car was painted flat black so that it might look like fiberglass and was taken to shows to try to sell fiberglass replicas. level 1 was just a body and frame, level 2 a roller, level 3 was a complete car and this was the display car. George Stauffer ended up with both this and the damaged competition CSX and I bought this from him. I took steel wool and paint thinner and scrubbed off the black paint and under it was this green which I then buffed, and buffed and buffed some more. It has had a 427 so in it as far back as I can tell with aluminum heads (Thunderbolt heads). I'll post more pictures when I return from vacation. Thanks again for the replies.

HI,
   I have AKL 1381 if any one keeps track of these things. It has a 427 in it and about 6000 miles on it. British racing green. It is scary to drive, for sure. Like a wagon down a steep hill.
   Best,
