    Looks amazing. Seems like this would easily pull way over your ask over at BaT. Super cool car!

    More specs on the build would be useful.

    GLWS!

    Dang it Doug. Why do you have to do this?. This looks like a great car. Does it have a title? Did They take all the structure of the roof? I still want this car, but I really need it for the street. What do you think it may take to get it street comfortable?.

    for anybody looking at this car, two things come to mind. Number one, Doug only has amazing cars that he keeps in impeccable condition. The only critique I would say is he is so neurotic that the cars are just so perfect. Number two, John James racing does some amazing cars. Their builds are impeccable. I’ve had one of their cars and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anybody looking at this car would not be disappointed.

    How often have you driven this on the track? Or for you was this more of a collectors item?

    I have never tracked it. More of a collectors item for me just to look at, like my other vehicles.

    Steve,
    Thank you very much for you kind words, you're way too nice!!! No title, not sure it would be to street comfortable with roll bar and etc. Second guessing myself on selling now due to the Superformance GT40 Mark II I was pursuing might not materialize as of now.

    That would be awesome! Jim is currently building me a 1988 962 wearing Rothman's livery. All bodywork is original 962!

    No, but probably could be street legal here in Kansas.

    :D

    I have one of Doug's cars that never saw the sun - it's amazing! So I agree - this one is totally ruined! lol

    Knowing Doug, I can assure any future owner that every visible screw nut or bolt will be perfect, and at the correct angle too.

    Please make it street legal! Rothmans livery 956 and 962 are iconic. My favorite 80s car.
