1600 for sale

[SMac35]

Hi Guys,

If you have read any of my other posts about a 1500cc engine, it is actually a 1600cc, I just didn't know enough to figure it out. I don't have a use for it so I'm putting it up for sale. I also have a split case trans that was bolted to it. If you want, I can bolt these into a Vista chassis, throw the new bodywork on it, and it's yours for $1000 bucks. The engine is race prepped, but hasn't been started in a while. It's been kept indoors with oily rags in the intake and exhaust ports. The car is almost ready to go, it has a battery, Master Cylinders, AFFF fire system, steering wheel, gauges, pedals, shifter and shift linkages., front drums, starter and the trans is drum to drum. I think all you will need is a beam, steering box that I may have, Fuel Cell, and belts. I am kind of tempted to build the car, but then I lose some of my college money, which is why I've been selling parts off.

The trailer is still for sale which holds a FV very well, I'm sure it can fit a FST or a FF too. $800

Oh, how I wish I were employed! I could use some of those parts on my FST build-up....

Too Bad John!

For anybody who is interested, I've deciided to build the car up into a FST-like thing. It will have dual carbs, hopefully some badass ones like Edelbrock or something, but everything else will be like a FSt. It's not going to fit into any class, but It will be nice to have a car I don't have to be serious in, ITA is really competitive around here, so a fun car will be nice. If my friends pitch in some money for some other parts, all I have to do is bolt them on and we'll share the car for solo or whatever we want to do.

Thanks guys, don't get too bored during the off-season,

Steven

Steven. Glad you are building a fun car out of it. Should be a blast and like you said, don't worry about the competition. I am doing the same thing to a Vintage FV frame that was so far modified that it would never run Vintage again and would not be a good FV/FST either. So it will be a fun car for me and my sons. So far I have a 1915 engine for it with dual carbs. Not legal for FM but don't care what class it runs in. I just want to have fun with it. I may put disc brakes all around too. Have fun and post some photos.

OK I've been bouncing back and forth with this, but there is no way I can work, keep up the Honda, and build this car all at once during the summer. If anybody is interested I have a built 1200cc and a built 1600cc ready to go. I also still have the chassis with the battery, AFFF fire system, gauges, steering wheel, steering arm, steering box, pedals and master cylinders. I also have a split case trans from drum to drum. 4 spare axle tubes, 3 spare trailing arms for the Vista and brand new body work for the Vista too. I have a spare transmission case and an engine in parts. I also have 2 wheels, cooling ducts, and other misc parts.

The trailer is a single axle, leaf spring trailer with brakes. It has a tire rack that holds 2 sets of FV tires. It also has a steel basket on the front and on either side to hold spares or canopy equipment or whatever.

I really don't want this stuff anymore, it takes up a lot of room in the garage that could be used for toolboxes and spare parts for the Honda. I will not be home until the first weekend in May but I have friends that live close by that may be able to help if you choose to pick something up from the garage in Maryland.

-I'll let the engines go for $600 each
-Chassis, everything bolted onto it, new bodywork, axle tubes, trailing arms,other Vista parts, the complete split case trans and one engine of your choice- $1500
-Trailer with the package- $500, by itself-$700
-If you need something, I probably have it. Most prices negotiable.

Hi Dan, The car is just East of annapolis, about 1.5hrs from Deleware. I only have a few pictures of the chassis. Most of them are on my mom's camera at home, I'll see if she can email them to me.

Steven

Side Note: these pictures have the Lybarger transmission on the chassis, which has already been sold.

[SMac35]

This is still very for sale. I'm getting more pictures of the car tomorrow that I'll send to anybody who wants them. I really, really don't want this in my garage so make me a deal if you want it.

Thanks,
Steven
