Look at those trophies. That Nova put plenty of competition on the trailer, great pic. Hopefully the rear shackles will not be used for the restoration. Just my opinion. Never was a shackle guy but understood why they used them.

Eugene is his given name, but uses Rick.

Can you imagine rolling into MCACN parking lot as a spectator.... almost period correct. Aluminum trailers were not common.

I would be tempted to restore it as it was raced. Probably be a lot cheaper.

Wrap it in race livery and have a bunch of fun before restoring it. Once you've had that fun, then restore it or sell it to someone else to restore.

That is my only regret with Rats Nest, I restored it first (mostly), then wrapped it. Undid the race livery to sell due to market preference. Still had aa ton of fun, just would do it in reverse next time.
