AI Listing Summary
This is the 1993 Vector Avtech WX-3 Prototype, a unique vehicle retained by company founder Jerry Wiegert until 2019 and showing fewer than 2,625 miles since new. It features a twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter V-8 engine, with nearly $300,000 in restoration work performed between 2019–2021, and was displayed at the Geneva International Auto Salon in 1992 and 1993.
