ALBA AR3 IMSA GTP CAR EX-MOMO
In 1983, popular Italian gentleman driver and MOMO founder Gianpiero Moretti turned to F1 engineer and designer Giorgio Stirano of Torino, Italy, to design a leading-edge GT Prototype for the 1984 IMSA Camel GT series.


In 1983, popular Italian gentleman driver and MOMO founder Gianpiero Moretti turned to F1 engineer and designer Giorgio Stirano of Torino, Italy, to design a leading-edge GT Prototype for the 1984 IMSA Camel GT series. The result was the exotic Alba AR3-001, a sophisticated design that was the first GTP car to use an all carbon fiber tub, as well as Kevlar and carbon fiber composite bodywork, titanium firewall, chassis and suspension elements, and advanced F1-based ground-effects.
While its Cosworth 3.0L V-8 engine was no match for most of the competition, the Alba’s light weight (just 1,700 pounds) and superior aerodynamics made it a consistent top 10 contender. Piloted by the affable Moretti and conspicuous in its red and yellow MOMO livery, AR3-001 scored a seventh place finish at the Riverside 6 Hours on April 29, 1984, with co-driver Fulvio Ballabio, seventh place at Laguna Seca on May 6, fourth place at the Coca-Cola 500 at Lime Rock on May 28, and ninth place at the Watkins Glen 6 Hours on July 8, again with Ballabio as his co-driver.
It was then sold to Ira Young and Malibu Grand Prix for the 1985 season. Young had Clayton Cunningham Racing convert it to a Mazda 13B engine. It was driven by Jeff Kline and Jack Baldwin.
The current engine is 4.2 Liter Buick V-6. The Buick engine is fresh and is much easier to economically service than the Cosworth Ford DFL is. This car comes with a huge spares package and the owner is willing to consider offers.
