Frank from C-1 listed some of the differences in the March cars that ran in 84. In addition to the Penskes having the smaller radiator vents, some differences included:
1) The little snorkel at the turbo was only on the Penske cars. 2) Wings & end plates vary widely from team to team. 3) Wheels on Mears model are not correct for the March field, maybe correct for 1/2 or so. Of course, we had alternate wheels that were not used in production.(BBS were the other option) 4) Most cars lack the stainless shields around the turbo exhaust on the Left Rear. 5) Most cars had a smaller "doughnut" fairing around the Right Rear turbo inlet than the Penske. We had this part and maybe it is on the Mi. Andretti model. 6) The bulge/fairing over the shifter should be larger but we had to make it small in order for the part to come out of the cavity. 7. Several cars ran with body extensions under the rear wings. (I have this part if some one wants to make a mould)
The Michael Andretti car got to a prototype stage before the company closed. 6 were made and I have one and no it is not for sale.

Tom, I would love to borrow the rear aero body extension piece and make a mold for it. I scratch built the one I did for the Breakfree March and it would be much easier to just cast one.
Thanks,
Stu
