If anyone is looking for a "turnkey" MkIV, and help find cures for childhood cancer at the same time, this is a unique opportunity. I was part of the team of FedEx pilots who built a MkIV during the FedEx/St. Jude PGA Classic. We assembled the car onsite at the golf tournament (7-11 June), with the assistance of Tony Zullo from Factory 5 Racing. Dave Smith donated the kit (4-link suspension, 18-inch wheels), and had the body fitted and painted before shipping it to Memphis. Engine is a Blue Print 306, transmission a TKO 600.

The car is being sold via an online silent auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to St. Jude Childrens' Research Hospital. The website to bid is www.bidstjude.com, and the bidding closes on 23 June. If are in the Memphis,TN area, the car is on display at Landers Ford, Collierville, TN through 22 June.

Regards,

John Morrison

Sorry Ron! Typed the post in a hurry, wanted to get your permission to use your name. Guess I have it now?

All, Ron Everitt came to Memphis with Tony Z., he was instrumental in the St. Jude build.
