        If there is anyone at this  moment of time that would like us to 
continue our dialog about cars and racing,  it would have been Jack. 
 
        This is at least the second  time that this racecar has been offered 
for sale on ebay. It is a Group 44  constructed racecar, it is not one of the 
team's race cars. The price has  dropped considerably from when it was offered 
previously. 
 
        If the car has been  truly restored back to the original Group 44  
specifications, it is worth the asking price. However, most of these  cars have 
significant race modifications which replace the original  parts and since 
this is a 1974, its not clear that vintage groups would  accept it despite its 
pedigree. Since some of the original parts were  specially constructed by Group 
44, its difficult to replace them. 
 
        These are relatively rare  cars. In talking with Lanky, the team made 
one of these car about every year.
