Thus was born the BN2 with the 100M version of this spunky roadster carefully aimed at those who wanted to race with a factory prepared machine that needed only a skilled driver to win trophies. And win they did. With a high-lift cam, 8.1:1 compression ratio and larger carburetors, the 100M would go on to score many victories. Both professional drivers and teams, as well as weekend players who found a certain relief valve in motorsports, praised the engineering and performance of the 100M. Each car was hand assembled, with all major sheet metal parts marked to make sure of a perfect fit at the end of the line. 
The Car: First owned by the legendary Augie Pabst, and in current long term ownership since 1985 this 100M is certified as true factory authentic well documented and retains most all the factory number items. When inspecting this 100M you will find the original numbered items are here, from the sheet metal including the hood and deck-lid, to critical engine parts such as the carburetors, distributor, all cockpit trim, hinges and ignition parts. Also included is the factory steering wheel as well as the soft top with side curtains, plus tools with bag and jack. Presented in its factory hue of Black with Reno Red, this car is a veteran of two Colorado Grands. It's reported that its factory body has never been off the frame and it's not known to have ever been raced. With just 7,200 miles on the engine that was renewed back in 1989 this 100M is fresh and authentically original. The knock-off chrome wire wheels are fitted with a set of new Avon tires that were installed in 2015. Not only is this a fine automobile to take out and enjoy a bit of road-rally fun, due to its originality this is a true investment grade sports car.
