Yes it is an ex Bignotti car,first time out with it Agabashian had fast time at oakland indoors.Probably the most famous west coast kurtis v8 60. It can be seen at the museum in down town sacramento. not to sure how much longer it will be on display as I understand the owner is disposing of his race car collection. my father in law also owned the ex Bob Sweikert kurtis before buying the 154 car. It has now been restored by Joe Fiore. must bring back some great memories.
