You probably saw it when you were at BIR.
Somebody got a screaming deal ! Wish it was me, but I couldn't talk the wife into it. Always wanted an Indy car. Maybe someday when I grow up !
God is my pilot, I'm just the loose nut behind the wheel !
Experience with these cars tells me the buyer did get a screaming deal - that means he'll spend a lot of time standing in the garage screaming at the car, followed by the screaming that will occur everytime he sees the cost of a replacement part (or cost to fabricate), followed by the screams of trying to get that engine to run.

The Buick engine should be fairly easy. Theres quite a few parts out there floating around on the Buick Stage II forum. The Buick guys won't use em cause the CI is too small. I myself would have fitted up an Indy Lights engine and tossed the turbo. I see body and sus parts for sale often. I bought a Swift FA car last year and have found parts for it are shocking.

Pop-
The swift FA parts bins are drying up and those cars are getting ridiculously expensive to support unless you have a boatload of spares from a previous owner.
Cars like these are best for those of us with engineering degrees and a TIG welder. For others without such facilities, it's getting to be a lot of money.
I would have snatched that champ car up at that price almost definitely.
Gents;
I talked to Jed a couple weeks ago, and the car is still available as the high bidder backed out.
If anyone is interested, I can be of assistance in gathering photos, information, transporting, etc.

Jed was supposed to do 200mph through turn 1 at BIR in that car..
Nicest guy around to deal with.. I bought my FE off him.
I found a FRESH engine for this car for only 8k . Shoot I can't find a fresh Toyota FA engine for 8k !!! Dang, I gotta talk to the wife some more .
