Crossley 71F 1990

[317nathan]

Ran a few solo events and had lots of barn time with my son with this car but needs to find a new home.
Purchased in 2009 as a running car. Had frame powder coated and replaced worn clutch. Had a friend from local Indy Lights team help with putting it back together. Moving into spec Miata no more open wheel dreams.
When we bought the car I talked to the engine builder and if memory is correct the 2.0L had just been rebuilt. I have a mismatched box of receipts and info from the previous owner.
Two sets of OZ wheels with sticker slicks but tires are old.
Three nose cones
Rear wing is complete we just never ran it for solo
Half of the body is in primer and will need some love but all fiberglass is there. Fires right up and has been very reliable for us.
(Apologies if pics are not in correct format)
Located in Indianapolis
Would love to see it on track competitive again. Asking $5500 nblackwell@huffelectricco.com

Any driver fit info?
Wider than a vd? Reynard?

he was saying 34 waist about 6' is all that will fit, and that's about the limit.

We thought it would be coming to the SE, and live with my RF94/5, and run some vintage stuff. Waiting to hear back

So the RF94/95 is bigger? Thanks.

The early to mid 90's VD is regarded as one of the biggest driver areas, though the area where your legs go through the front bulkhead, which is tight for me.
But I'm 6'2" 230 so, pushing the limits.

We were looking at this for my dad, who is a little smaller.
Of course this is just from a phone conversation about the car, not sitting in both.

I have always liked these cars, so my question is not a negative one. This car wouldn't be competitive in Nationals / Majors. Where would be the best place to race this and be competitive?

[Numbskull XIV]

Is it CFC legal? If so that might be a fun class to race with.

Chuck Moran was winning FC nationals a few years ago(5?) in a Crossle 71. I understand the car is no longer for sale, owner say he is keeping it???

that would explain why he is ignoring all forms of contact I have been trying to arrange buying it from him.

If the owner has decided not to sell the car. He should post it as such. I was told about the cat at the race at Thompson ct. today. So I am here taking a look.

Well you would think,

But we sent an email, text, and left a voicemail that we would buy the car, and I have not heard a thing.

So I would guess a post here is even less likely,
