The following is from the auction from which I purchased the car. As the Project Car for Grassroots Motorsports in 1996, "The Beast" shares a unique place in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) history as valuable and fun as the car itself! Provided in this sale are the four issues of Grassroots Motorsports telling the story of "Living With The Beast" and the work accomplished by OPM Motorsports, BSI Racing, Carrera and Tokico to create "The Beast." Known for its ability to hold to the track like it's on rails, this autocross car literally owns the curves! I first met "The Beast" through prominent SCCA Autocross Racer Frank Rouser and purchased it to race STS Class with the East Tennessee Region of Sports Car Club of America. To preserve the historical integrity of this remarkable car, I completely restored it in 2006 and raced "The Beast" only three seasons before developing a serious interest in playing golf... Since I now spend more time on the golf course than on the track, this is an opportunity for someone to own this car for half of what I have invested in it. This car is SCCA legend so no expense has been spared... inside and out! From the Corbeau racing seat, Nardi Personal Fittipaldi Italian leather (the crown jewel of this car's interior) steering wheel, and Kamei golf ball gearshift knob to the stock blue interior, this is one serious Rabbit. I also have the stock driver's seat too. The interior is exceptionally clean... and when you read through the specifications, you will know that a great deal of thought has gone into the car. I have records of the fully documented restoration (complete with photos) in 2006 and the work that followed in 2008 on the body and paint. "The Beast" attracts a lot of attention both on the road and at the track and is definitely priced to sell! ENGINE BSI Head with G-grind Cam Rebuilt in 2005.
