Hi VoWo-Show visitors,

can you tell me some details bout the 850?



"Ali work some original Tom Hannah from the Raceshop 850 rest Shane at Paintbox"

Does that mean the car once was the Vittone 850? Or parts of it? Or did they remove that sign after Saturday (April, 1st)...

Saludos,
Ole

Hi Ole,

No It is not the Race Shop Fiat, it's the O.G. Sting...

Aluminum Panel Work, Front and Rear Axles are out of the O.G. Race Shop Fiat...

Darrell sold these Parts when they went Tube Chassis under the Race Shop Fiat...
