1998 F355 challenge ex Drendel

I have seen the car in person. It was very rough looking.

 

its not rough .. its 'patena'

I have lots of big chunks of 'patena' all over my car

 

What did it sell for?

 

i would maybe return some of the interior back to challenge standard

 

front bumper also ...

 

Agreed.

 

Because it was actually used for it's intended purpose, thank god.

 

Back in the day it was. Then it was put away looking rough and seemingly poorly maintained. If someone wanted to put this car back into service, where it belongs, it would take a lot to bring it back up to spec. Safety equipment alone would be costly. When Greg says it looks rough, he says that from the viewpoint of putting the car back on track as opposed to a museum piece.

Compare this to a car that was used back in the day and then continued to race, therefore receiving ongoing care to maintain it at a competitive level. Both mechanically and cosmetically. This is a race car, not a collector car. Patina most often means the owner could not afford to or chose not to maintain it in 'race-ready' mode. That means big $ to track it again.

Compare this to a car that has been maintained at the highest level possible with a recent engine out service:

A lot of work and money to bring the Car back to Orig. challenge spec !
I agree the Car is good for Trackdays but not the Car for a Historic challenge
