SOLD - SOLD - SOLD
Walter Wolf Racing's Wolf Dallara WD1 1977 Can Am Car as raced by Chris Amon & Gilles Villeneuve. Indeed it was the last car that Amon drove as a professional racing driver and also the first one that Villeneuve drove as a pro racer.
This car, following a heavy accident at Mosport some 8/9 years ago, has been fully rebuilt to an extremely high standard by it's current owner. He gave up logging the hours at 2000 and suspects that he invested well over 2500 hours on it in total. Everything has been fabricated to match the period specifications and dimensions.
The photos tell much of the story and I'm sure you will recognise how much attention to detail has gone into this rebuild. As many of the original components were retained as possible, the original radiator headers were retained with just the cores replaced for example.
The bodywork weighs a fraction of the original as new techniques with GRP allow for considerable weight savings. The original body work and rear wing are available with the car.
