1998 Jeep Comanche Race Truck driven to 1988 SCCA Manufacturers Championship

This is a 1998 Jeep Comanche Race Truck.

This is Tommy Archer's 1988 Racetruck Challenge truck that went on to win at Lime Rock. Tommy sold the truck to Dom Papa and sat in Papa's dealership showroom among other such beautiful. low millage examples of Dodge. Chrysler. and AMC automotive history. It changed hands in the early '90s. it was moved to the showroom floor. battery disconnected. and it went for a long nap.  Until this year. Dean Cusano Brought it back to life.

The truck needed a new bladder in the original fuel cell container ( ATL still had the specs from when the truck was built in their records) . The Goodyears. as raced on were all dry rotted. so  Dean just mounted a set that he had on hand - some Hoosiers. . a change of all fluids. replaced the cracked front spoiler with another that was new in a box in the back of the pickup bed. and a bigger racing seat as Tommy is kind of a skinny guy. The truck has been shown everywhere and ran the slalom event in the Papa's Dealership parking lot that was hosted by The Jaguar Club of Southern New England. Here is a video of the truck running the slalom: http://www. youtube. com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JwE6NWJy7vU

 Keep this in mind that this is the real deal that dominated the series that year. The truck is in original paint. has all the original parts that were put there by the Archer Brothers. runs great (and revs like a dirt bike). and currently has 4400 miles on the clock. Yup.  4400 MILES!!!

Per Tommy Archer. This exact race truck was driven to the 1998 SCCA Manufacturers Championship by Tommy Archer http://www. woodhouseperformance. com/drivers_archer. html

All pictures including the one in the vintage ad are of this exact race truck.

 The truck was stored for years in a car storage warehouse and has just been made race and road ready and has a new ATL fuel cel and battery.

This is a amazing historic race car and is eligible for events with vintage racing sanctioning bodies such as HSR. It could even be made road legal if the headlights are replaced.

It is offered for sale with a bill of sale and a CT. assignment of ownership form as Connecticut does not title cars more than 20 years old.

Here are a few facts--

-the truck runs. drives and has been driven locally  at slaloms participated at shows.

-the truck has plastic headlamp covers. it is not currently fit for the road. but it is able to be converted

-it has no horn. but the relay and wiring is in place

-the wipers work. the windows are in place and work. just the cranks are cut to clear roll bar

-the harnesses are working but out of date

-the fuel cell is brand new ATL and is ready to race. per ATL it is scca legal and probably will be for all sanctions

-it has pretty good Hoosier Street TD slicks on it now. but it should have Good Year street tires on it. that is how it is set up

-the rt rear wheel has a wobble in it. it should be straightened or replaced.

-we replaced the oil. the coolant and all the brake and clutch fluids. the gearbox and differential are clean. clear and like new

It is a cool. honest. fun piece of history.
