My car is the first one Ted built a near perfect copy of Tony Pacucci's car with the exception of the wing windows that we are correcting, and the fuel pump isn't perfect.alsancle wrote: Leo was partners with Ted. He procured the engines and chassis and Ted did the rest. If you have one of the early cars those are the really good ones. By the last cars they were running out of original parts and some short cuts were taken. I wonder if you have the "circus wagon"? That was what the guys in the shop called one that was painted in flamboyant colors.

im not very good at this I would need help putting pictures up, when my wife gets back next week I'll have her do it, but the colors in 1973 were orange like body and maroon fenders I believe the owner at that time was Leo Gephartalsancle wrote: If you can post a picture of it in its 1970s colors I can see what I have. I was only helping on the last cars as I didn't start working for Ted until I was 15. Of course, by help I mean pushing, cleaning, etc.

These cars are obnoxious when blasting off under hard acceleration and in some areas,the driver can be fined for doing it.
