Birdcage Maserati Video Walk-Around

This is a good video tour (although the image quality is so-so) of a car I've posted about before.  Adam Carolla plays the fool;  he knows vintage cars very well and races his own Datsun 510.

Gaston Andrey was the driver in this particular car's winning season.  He was a Swiss immigre (thus the color scheme and emblem on the car) who owned an imported car store in Framingham, MA.  He won the SCCA C-Modified championship.  Roger Penske won the class a year later using two cars:  another Birdcage and his Cooper Formula 1-based "Zerex Special."
