Historical Article on Hugh Klienpeter Group 5 Car.

And in the back of the magazine....

Anyone want to buy it?

(Where's MtS when you need him!)

Rock,

Why do you have to go and bring up that bad reality show? Can't we all just agree to leave MtS in the past and move on? Ugh! It pains me just thinking about that saga.

Another Cool Article about the Car's Racing History

From ProvaMo:

"Hugh Kleinpeter of Georgia comprehensively enhanced this car for racing.

Later sold to Vic Manuelli of California. While racing at Riverside in 1983, driver Jim Harris was killed.

The car was completely rebuilt and raced again thru the mid 1980's. Then it was sold to the next owner in Georgia and later extensively fire damaged.

In March of 2006 the damaged car was offered for sale on eBay for around $35,000, but it didn't sell in a couple of auctions. These photos below are from the listing and from the seller."


Here's what it looked like in 2009...

Here's the article in a single file.

Rocky,

Thank you for your comment on my website www.gr5pantera.com and for posting some of the older articles on the Kleinpeter racecar.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting a few "new" photos of this car as it ran at Riverside onto my
Group 5 Pantera" facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/gr5pantera/

Also, I've attached another "blast from the past" to add to your contributions on the history of this car as documented in previous PI magazines.

Dave –

I love this stuff, and it's great to see a Pantera campaigning in the big leagues.

Thanks for posting up your articles. I really was impressed by your site – it's top notch.
