I wonder how much power they made with the fuel injection and the
special head.

Thanks for that info Joe, great information.

Those are the two cars I have photos of somewhere undergoing restoration.
Doing a little digging, the Ebay car says it was at 1969 Sebring 12 hours,
I haven't been to confirm that, as I can't find photos of the 69 cars,
but it was not the car that the
Baker Racing, MacMillan Ring Free Oil all
women's race team drove in 1970.
That  was car HAN9R-238. I thought they may be different cars as the body
work
is different.
The nose is different, seen here, partly because of the fuel injection.

I then found this site, showing the car restored,

>From which I found:
http://www.thelasthealeys.com/
a web site that chronicles HAN9R-238 and the roadster-250

I now know which car I want when I win Lotto.
and I'm really kicking myself for not making it to Sebring this year!
