Default Looking to buy & restore a basketcase 1960's- 1980's racing boat

If anyone knows of where one might be, I'm looking to restore an old school boat that has some degree of racing history. I'm looking for anything from a stripped hull to a complete boat, preferably a Cigarette, the longer the better, the more racing history the better. I'm not interested in re-powering it with any new technology if possible. Ideally would like the power/technology to be what it was back when it was racing, if those parts can be found...

Even Brownie is impressed with the Job you did on that. I was down there a few weeks back and heard him telling my sister about it. Good Job

Thanks
Now that the trailer is done I hope to get it down south somewhere this spring and maybe he can come by and see it. Been a goal all along.

Twin 454's, one in front and one in back going to a single V drive to a single prop. One of the only very few survivors of this race set up.
Hey Phrag, if you are there we can stick you on the bow with a camera. God knows there is enough of it.
