This is NOT my car, but I figured someone here may be interested in it. I don't know the Players cars too well, but 1 of 3 sounds pretty neat. It apparently has 200xxxkm, but at 10k CAD (7500USD), I can't imagine the value is too far off.

Based off the 1LE, factory sealed LB9 for SCCA show room stock. Al Openheiser (sp) drove a white R7U 1LE to the recent M1 coffee and concourse in Michigan.

In 89 and up all players cars had the 1LE option along with their R7U option. In 88, it was an A4U code for Players cars which included 1LE front brakes. These cars were produced in spring much earlier than the official 1LE option release. For the most part, the brakes were hand fit to each assembly where as 89 and up were production like. The 88 A4U cars also came with race spec (of the day) front struts and rear shocks. Selected springs for the track (lower ride height). And of course race spec engine (a blueprinted 305). I have tons of info on the series and cars if anyone needs more details.

I own an 88 A4U TA as well ... two examples of history. I'd sell my 88 for $10K and I'd consider it rougher than the one posted as mine was raced. A few bumps a long the way. price seems cheap for players cars. My 5 cents (cause we don't have pennies anymore).

Mark.
