[Ken Glasser]

Update 8/8/2015: Sold! Thanks ApexSpeed!



Update 7/30/2015: I have taken a deposit on the whole package. I will update the post again once the sale has completed.

1986 Swift DB-1 Chassis 86-002 4130 Chrome moly

Sorry, I had to change plans so I won't make Laguna with the car... Sorry if this interrupts anyone's plans. The car will "NOT" be at Laguna Seca July 24th and it is still available.

If your in the market for a DB-1 perhaps this is the one for you! The car has had many updates over the time I have owned it and has seen relatively few races.

$17,500 for the DB-1 with listed spares.
$23,500 for package with the E350 to take it in the "To-Go" Box Van

Ken, that's a pretty car, even better looking after Tom Irwin got a hold of it! Sorry to hear it's being sold.

[Ken Glasser]

Hi Gary, Yes I sorry to have to part with it but it's time to find it a new home.

Tom spent a great deal of time making the body fit really nice. The paint is Audi R8 Laguna Blue and it has a really nice appearance.

It's too bad your not out this way as it would be good to see you at Laguna.

this one did get a lot of my attention

Any chance you could post some pics of the van. What is the mileage.
Thanks

I have this from the past, note the transport fronts on the car
this truck set up was made by the famous Michael Scully for his S2

Ken,

You might want to get in touch with Graham Collins. I know one of his drivers was looking for a DB1. Not sure if he found one.

Good luck!

Just curious. . . .the paint scheme on this DB-1 looks so familiar. Did you own a Vector painted similarly before this? Good luck on the sale of the Swift. It's sweet!

[Ken Glasser]

I've never owned a Vector or had this scheme before...its just a coincidence...Ken
