1972 28 Cigarette OS- #66 Retired Production Class Racer. This ultra-rare time capsule is one of the first of its kind and has retained its original Cigarette Racing Team Colors for nearly 40 years. Built as one of the very first 28 Cigarettes our boat was possibly the first to be rigged with V8s and set up for racing.
In 1973 Legendary Sports Car Racer Mark Donahue bought this boat from the factory and raced it, occasionally with Roger Penske prior to moving up to a larger 40 Cigarette. Mark Donahue went on to sell the boat to fellow racer and founder of the IROC series, Jay Signorie. Signorie owned the boat and used it throughout the 1970s and early 80s then went on to store it inside his racing shop for years. Prior to Jay Signorie posting the boat for sale in 1994 the boats IROC Series Motors were rebuilt from the pans up.
Since 1994 we have owned this boat and spared no expenses keeping it in top notch condition. The motors have perfect compression, the interior is in amazing shape and the hull gleams like it was just popped from the mold.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Twin IROC Series SBC Racing Motors
