Frissbee single-seat Can-Am

[Ricks Minis]

Here is an authentic Center-Seat Can-Am Frissbee of the amazing driver Mr. John Morton!


**
This Lola race car began life as a T333CS and was campaigned in Can-Am competition by privateer John Morton beginning in 1978. Following the 1981 season, the steel and aluminum monocoque was fitted with “Frissbee” bodywork before securing a third-place finish at Mid-Ohio and multiple top-five qualifications in 1982. In the ensuing season, the car was acquired by the seller and subsequently participated in various vintage racing events. Finished in white with a C.G.I. Racing livery, the car is powered by a 5.0-liter Chevrolet V8 paired with a Hewland five-speed manual transaxle. The engine was rebuilt in 2018 with a Holley carburetor, staggered-diameter center-lock wheels, adjustable coilovers, ventilated disc brakes, a fire-suppression system, a multi-point harness, and a Moto Lita steering wheel. This Frissbee-bodied Lola T333CS is offered in California with an uninstalled set of tires and a bill of sale. We set up the shipping logistics for over 90% of out sales worldwide, we are happy to help!
Following the 1974 dissolution of Can-Am racing, the single-seater Formula 5000 series became the leading road-racing series in North America. F5000 was an open-wheel class until 1976, when it ushered in a second-generation of Can-Am racing initially based on fitting bodywork over the F5000-style chassis. This example was acquired as a Lola T333CS chassis in the late 1970s by John Morton and is said to have been assembled utilizing various components from his F5000 car.
In the early 1980s, chassis #HU8 was fitted with “Frissbee” bodywork designed by Brad Frisselle. The composite bodywork is said to have been refinished in white with its Can-Am #46 C.G.I. racing livery under current ownership. Further exterior details include an air intake scoop, brake cooling ducts, vented fenders, sidepods housing radiators, dual mirrors, and a rear wing.


The 13? and 15? center-lock wheels are secured via hex nuts with Avon racing slicks measuring 20.0-9.0 up front and 27.0-14.0 out back. The car rides on a fully independent suspension with an anti-roll bar and adjustable coilovers fitted at each corner. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with the rears mounted inboard.
The cockpit houses a single racing seat equipped with a multi-point harness. Additional appointments include a fire-suppression system, a headrest, a right-hand shift lever, and a kill switch.
A Moto Lita steering wheel is wrapped in worn upholstery and fronts a tachometer as well as gauges for oil pressure and temperature.
The 5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block V8 features Pontiac-branded cylinder heads, a Holley carburetor, and an MSD ignition system. The engine was rebuilt in 2018, we have` a pic of the invoice on file. Tubular headers feed a dual exhaust system, and the batteries are said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Hewland transaxle.
An uninstalled set of slick tires is included in the sale!

Rick; I believe this car has been sold to Oz or NZ?

YES! We sold this to a gentleman in Austria. He will be running against the expected Porsche and BMW groups! Our buyer will leave the drivers names on the body, John Morton and Chuck McConnell. He will return the car to original including the correct induction, Chuck just had a carb!

These are very fast, top of the mark in the day! We sold the Danny Sullivan Frissbee to Gary in the Midwest who is burning up the tracks, closing in on track records! We have the Al Unser, Villeneuve Frissbee listed available, ready to go! Thanks for the prompt, I had forgotten this. Also have 3 McLaren Can-Am, Atlantic's and much more....

Is the Villeneuve Frisbee back to Canadian Tire livery?

I lettered both those cars twice; first time removing Jacques names while still orange (which felt so wrong being Gilles will always be my Hero), second time when red, white, and blue.

Rick Miaskiewicz owned them both, both times I worked on them.
