    For Sale SOLD - RF97 Van Diemen - $11,500

    PACKAGE IS SOLD

    Transport wheels - Sold

    With great regrets I am selling my '97 Van Diemen FC. There just aren't enough guys up in Minneapolis running FC's these days. Hope to find this car and package a great home. My racing will now have to take place on the Dark Side... Spec racing...

    The car was purchased from Scott Meehan @ Motorsport Services in 2010, and last run in Spring of 2013. You can watch me putz around here-> Video: http://youtu.be/2Cgs2myDBNI

    Highlights:
    Strong Ivey Motor (2.0L Pinto) - 9 weekends since rebuild

    LD200 rebuilt by Scott Church (Geardaddies) 7 weekends
    --12 gear sets that should have you covered anywhere you go

    3 sets of magnesium wheels
    --2 sets OZ, 1 set Techno Mags-w/ mounted F2000 rains

    New Style Tilton Slave Cylinder

    Shift linkage redrilled with new hardware, very tight

    3-way Penskes

    Spares:
    Wings:
    -High down force lower rear main plane
    -Single style upper element rear wing
    -Front wing main plane
    -Front wing end plates
    -low-style rear wing mounts for high speed tracks (i.e. Road America)
    -3 diffusers (2 Elans, 1 Gyrodynamics)
    -Fiberglass nose cap
    -2x aluminum rear wing spacer bars

    Bodywork:
    -4 noses (see picture)
    -2 sidepod trays
    -1 cockpit hand cover
    -1 engine cover prepped for sanding and paint
    -All spare cam-loc fittings included (6-8 assorted sizes)

    Suspension:
    -adjustable ARB levers and cables (fixed ARB mounted on car)
    -2 tripod joints
    -3 rod end bearings
    -3 push rod couplings
    -2 rear stub axles
    A-Arms:
    -RR lower
    -Rear Upper
    -LF lower
    -RF lower
    -2 front upper
    More Suspension:
    -2 steering control arms/rods
    -2 rear push rods
    -2 front push rods
    -2 ARB push rods
    -6+ sets of spare springs of all sorts

    Brakes + Engine:
    -2 new master cylinders
    -3 floating rotors
    -3 plug wires
    -carburetor
    -Dist cap
    -NGK set of plugs

    3 Sets of wheels
    -2 sets of 5-spoke OZ magnesium wheels
    -1 set of Technomags - magnesium wheels
    Indy style jack included


    Car has fixed ARB's installed. I have the adjustable hardware.

    Everything included with the car, with the exception of the transport wheels/tires

    The fiberglass and fasteners are fine, but could use some attention. The car is together and ready to run (needs new harnesses). There is plenty of spare bodywork and everything is in fine condition. I just don't want to advertise the bodywork as cherry. It drives amazing and has been really reliable and easy to run. The engine has great pull and it shifts like a dream.

    This is the narrow style '97 (same as '98k). I've seen many discussions on this forum over the years about how big of a person can fit in the car. In my opinion, <6'1", 36" waist and 46" suit coat.

    Priced to sell.

    Email is the best way to get a hold of me. Car is in Minneapolis.

    Hey Pat ! I was really looking forward to racing with you. Thr car counts up here are truly sparse. I understand you switching classes. FYI...Apex requires you to post an asking price.

    I would like to come by to see if I can fit It's a nice car !

    Default like the '97 better

    I have a '97 VD FC which I like better than the '98 VD FC I used to have.

    I think the guys up here in the NW should take a look at this car, because the FC ranks have been growing here. A great looking car for a great price!

    Pat, I am looking for the very tail end of the '97 body work, like the one in one of your photos near the trailer.
    Would you have a spare you would want to sell?

    Thanks,
    Michael Lensen

    Default RF97 Still Available - Transport Wheels Sold

    I had 5 inquiries within 24 hours of this original post. I apparently made the mistake of holding the car for a few weeks and the buyer backed out. Car is still available. Transport wheels sold.

    Call or email if interested.

    Default 97 VD FC

    I just wanted to say that I watched the little video clip. I had a blast just watching. I've been out of CF for a couple of years and I miss it. I nearly bought a 97 VD FC a few years back. Maybe I should have. Good luck with it. It seems like a very nice car.

    I have had a few more PM's about availability. Car is still available. Transport wheels have sold.

    I have also had several questions about the engine. I've attached a pic of the Ivey #'s. 8 weekends since last full rebuild. Logbooks available.

    Default New Price - $11,500

    I probably should have waited to post the car originally and made the mistake of holding it without a deposit while I made another expensive mistake (got married!!!) then blew my knee out playing hockey!

    The car is a great package and really deserves to be driven. I'm finally up and walking again and can load the trailer. I hope it can find a good home with somebody looking to get out and drive at an affordable price.

    Car is in Minneapolis.

    Default Good Honda FF Candidate

    At this price this car is also a good candidate for a conversion to FF with a Honda.
