1975 Dekon Monza Coupe

This DeKon Monza was originally purchased by Michael Keyser and began its racing career in red, white, and blue livery at Le Mans in 1976. Keyser raced the car in the IMSA Camel GT and SCCA Trans-Am until 1977. He then sold it to Roy Woods who painted it yellow and changed the bodywork. Woods and Milt Minter captured three top-five finishes in 1977. In 1978 Woods converted the 350 cubic inch V8 to twin turbochargers which produced 1000 horsepower. Woods and George Follmer drove the car but found the weakest link to be the IMSA-mandated production-based four-speed transmission. The strongest transmission that could be used was a Ford Toploader. The car retains bodywork as driven by Follmer in 1980 at Riverside and Mid Ohio.
