Description
A genuine piece of New Zealand motorsport history. Built by Tony Lynch of Lynchbuilt for Keith Hamnett, this Chevette has competed in famous events across the country, including the Leadfoot Festival and various Targa and hillclimb events.

Toyota W55 Supra 5-speed gearbox with custom gear set, modified Hilux LSD 4.5:1 diff
Homologated 6-point roll cage, full HSR fibreglass body kit, structural chassis reinforcing

Mazda RX7 4-pot front calipers, 294mm vented rotors
Top speed over 260kph, 8,500rpm rev limit, 50/50 weight split

Two spare sets of wheels fitted with semi-slicks are included
Personalised plates included
