Michael.
It is the
authentic and only surviving 1970 Tommy Grove body in existence. It also has an
authentic
Logghe chassis, but it is not the original
Grove piece and it is not exactly correct. I will explain below.
Below are
pictures of the three Logghe chassis’ that were
produced. From top to
bottom, the Stage 1, 2 and 3.
The Grove car is
supposed to have the Stage 1 chassis. The one that is presently under the
car I call a Stage 1 ½ .
The reason being
is because it has the Stage 1 rails and the Stage 2 cage.
The only reason I
can think of it being that way is that it occurred during the transition from
the Stage 1 to the Stage 2.
My chassis would need to
have the Stage 2 cage removed and the Stage 1 cage fabricated.
The
car includes:
1)
Authentic Tommy Grove body.
2)
Authentic Logghe chassis. The chassis was media
blasted and powdercoated.
3)
