Looking for something "cheaper" my son and I can work on together. Want to use it for SOLO racing.

A number might be helpful as one mans "cheaper" is most likely different from the next

[protoform]

I agree Bill: I think of $5,000. for any kind of race car cheep solo or roadracing. there is a D-13 in wis. for cheep money. Lawyer bob listed under fv for sale in this forum.

Also consider you skill set and how much time and/or money you have to allocate. I have the skills, equipment, and TIME to make a $3000 car competitive. You may not and would be better off spending more. Even a top notch car is going to take one day a week to stay on top of.

I have a BRD that I rebuilt the frame out of chrome alloy several years back. It has Penske's front and rear, wired for radio and 2 sets of wheels. The car has not been the track in about 10 years. It comes with a Lybarger short and long box. I also have 1 spare nose and a new rear engine cover. I'd like to get $3750 for it. The car is in Ft. Worth Texas

Finally bought one. Got a running Vee for 1200!
Bodywork is ok.
More to come...more questions too.
Not me in the picture.

Bruce,
That looks like a FANTASTIC deal for you. Hope you and your son get some great mileage out of it. <LOT OF GRINNING!!>

Woo hoo...IDAs and dual port heads are now legal in FV...who knew?!

PS - BTW, is that a Caldwell D-13?

[Jnovak]

Thanks!
I almost had an issue when I went to put it on the trailer...no brakes after sitting for 2 years.

We have a school N tune instead of our next autocross. Good timing.

Stan,

That is an Ed Zink Z-5 or when built by Steve Lathrop, a C-4

Was told it is a Zink Z5.

I also have a dual throat webber to put back on it.
It is the one in the picture. It was removed for a single throat (barrel)

The pervious owner was building it into a FST.

I am like a kid at Christmas!

And I do realize that FV might not be "competitive” at nationals right now…even with the move to CM.
It will be VERY fun to run local and that’s where I really want to run it.
