THE Original Swift DB-2-READY to Fly

[sheltonracing]

Available for purchase, The Original Swift DB-2 Sports 2000. This is the works chassis that Steve Shelton drove to a podium finish at The SCCA Runoffs in 1984 for David Bruns and Swift.

The car was purchased by the current owner in June of 2021. DBS Motorsports, in Roswell, Georgia has gone through the car extensively. The bodywork was rehabbed back to (near) its factory Swift livery from 84. It looks amazing and will make the new owner proud. Paul Pfanner (Racer Magazine Publisher) was commissioned by Swift to complete a draft of the car based on design. The number on the car in the draft was #85, not #14 like was run during the Runoffs. That's why #85 is currently on the car....more original than original.

Other Updates:

*Brand new Fuel Cell (Installed October of 2022)
*Safecraft Harness- good through the end of 2023 and can be re-webbed for free making them good through the end of 2025.

*Rebuilt (Original Equipment) Fox Shocks (Early Penske) by ANZE Suspension

Here are a few more pics of the car currently.

Do the records show previous owners? I'm wondering if this car was once owned by Rich Boston, who was from the Denver area.

Hi Gary. I can have Doug look in the LogBook

[Gary Jarlson]

Not a big deal. I was just curious as I handled Boston's car for a series of races.

Good Luck with the sale and hope it’s okay to address Gary’s comment...

I hesitate commenting for not being absolutely sure here.

I knew Rich a little in the late ‘80s. He was a friend of our longtime friend Bob Schader, I believe he was a fellow attorney, and I have a vague recollection that Rich bought the DB2 Bob won the ‘85 Runoffs in.

If memory serves, I also think Rich died of cancer in about 1989 or so.

That's the Rich Boston I was talking about. There was another car that was advertised as "the first DB-2." I always thought Boston's car was because it was the Runoffs winner.

If we’re talking about the same “other poster,” based on comments he’s made on this forum I tend to believe this ad by miles over the prior claim.

If any potential buyers of the car in this ad are wondering, the Sheltons are long-respected and straight up — and their cars always impeccable. If I had a farm, I’d bet it on this car being the true first DB2.

Edit: Clarifying, Schader's car was not the first DB2, but indeed *unequivocally was* the first DB2 to win the Runoffs. I was Bob’s sign and graphics guy from 1980 forward (including Camel Lights), and painted the numbers (#12) on his DB2 at the Runoffs, during a brief period he left Boulder to return home to California (before coming back to Boulder in I think 1986).

I was a sort of partner with Jim Hall and we ran not only Boston, but also at other times Lou Sell and Schader. I really enjoyed working with Bob. He had a great sense of humor and knew pretty much what he wanted from his car. I don't remember his running a Swift (that's just age probably.) He was running a Lola later and won a helluva race at SP in what was a prelim to, as I recall, the first NASCAR race there.

Bob’s been a great friend, client, and mentor to my wife and myself since we were 19. Sponsored some of our karting, too.

Thanks for the comments.

And thinking more about it now, the Runoffs may have been his first time in the DB2. It seems he arrived with it in pure white, and a die-cut decal for his last name. And, think you’re right that he ran a different car in ACRL in ‘85 (I only saw him at the Runoffs).




Not sure whether to apologize to Mr. Shelton for the diversions, or bill him for our free thread bumps. ;-)

Can stop upon request. :-)
