Sold for $55,000 at 2011 Mecum.
This 1980 Grant King Penske PC7 was built by the famous car builder and team owner Grand King of the Penkse PC7. It was driven by Jim McElreath and others. The car is powered by a Drake Offy V8 turbocharged engine that offers approximately 800 horsepower. These engines were first built in 1978 and are extremely durable, like the Offy 4-cylinder engines. The Ishi Warner turbocharger is controlled by cockpit adjustable boost. It has a Hewland LG500 MK2 4-speed transmission and AP Lockheed 4-piston brakes. It rides on Penske Mag wheels, has an adjustable sway bar control, and Monroe shocks.

The car has been restored by A.J. Watons to its original specification and livery.
