SCCA SA/FB race car at Fremont junkyard

Was just there today looking for some small interiors pieces when I saw this gem.

1st gen SCCA race car. Had quite a few nice things about it.

- 6-point roll cage
- fiberglass front end and skirts
- front end has been cut and rewelded for a large radiator or turbo setup with all the ducting done
- hatch area has a cutout/door for a fuel cell type setup
- aftermarket type brakes/hubs are still there
- dash has been replaced with an aluminum/sheetmetal dash with holes for gauges
- already stripped and lightened

The front windshield has a few stickers from SCCA race seasons and tracks.

My guess is whomever junked it and went to a different car.

See it at Fremont Pick N Pull off 880 and Mowry.

Yes, Fremont is East/South Bay area (varies with which news channel's weather report you watch).
