Since were on the subject, a couple sources quote 120 cars built. Is there a solid source for the 44+1 number?

EDIT: "The wide range of the serial numbers for the Carrera Cup USA cars is because they were built non-consecutively on the production line and thus have serial numbers ranging between 0392 and 0602, inclusively. Serial number 0392 was a pre-production car. Production really began in earnest with serial number 0509 so, during the actual period of production, approximately every other car on the production line between 0509 and 0602 was a Carrera Cup USA car."

I thought I saw the only red Cup Car for sale in Panorama? May issue?

There were 45 US carrera cups built fully documented. I think you are confusing the US cups with the EURO cups.

Ahh indeed! Is there a decent write up of the differences somewhere I could peruse?

EDIT: Reading this now.

Yep, I saw that, too. I hope he gets the asking price but it's funny because for a long time the red car wasn't seen as anything special since it wasn't one of the 44 white ones.

The red one has supposed been wrecked a couple of times, don't think the color outweighs the history for most collectors.

johnsopa

Oh, ouch. That'll hurt value, I would think.

tjb616

Ironic that the pace car got wrecked so many times, heh.

Series was cancelled so red one never saw duty as an official pace car. Most of the cars that saw track duty were used club racers, mine ran a few IMSA races but there was not a good class for car at the time.

tjb616

Of course, but isn't it generally accepted that the red car was painted red to be the pace car for the series that never happened?
