Chassis # 87C-12-06
Catagory: Indycar
Engine: V8 Turbo Ford Cosworth
For 1987 the factory updates which produced this Type 87C model proved to be matched by the rival Lola concern, to which Rahal switched to win his second consecutive CART-PPG title. March 87Cs such as this example offered here carried Michael Andretti to second place in the Championship for the second year running, followed by Al Unser4 Jr and Roberto Guerrero. March 87C race winners that season included Guerrero (Phoenix and Lexington ‘200s’), Al Unser Sr (Indy ‘500’), Michael Andretti (Milwaukee and Miami ‘200s’, Pennsylvania and Michigan ‘500’), Emerson Fittipaldi (Cleveland and Toronto), and Rick Mears (Pocono ‘500’).
This particular March 87C is ex-Gary Trout Motorsports with composite chassis properly serial-number and inspection plated. The 90-degree turbocharged V8 engine – rated at 700bhp - drives via a 5-speed transaxle and we understand that the car was imported into Belgium via Antwerp on December 5, 1989 via Douglas L. Hardwick, USMC (rtd).
