Harold Pace has been fascinated by specialty cars ever since coming across a dilapidated 1960 Bocar XP-5 over a decade ago. That project stretched out over six years and culminated in several enjoyable seasons of historic racing. He has owned four kit cars from Ferraris to Mini Coopers. His "Kit Carchives" featuring historic kit cars appears in Petersen's "Kit Car" Magazine. He is considered an authority on Amerian specialty race and street cars and is the proud owner of a 1972 Mallock U2 and his beloved 1959 Devin SS.
