2 2000 Van Diemen cars, complete or rollers

[Skip Weld]

2000 Van Diemens, originally built as an FC cars, they have run FC, FS, and FA and could easily and inexpensively be converted to a really nice FF if someone wanted to.
They are currently available as a roller or with engine in FA trim. I got the cars and 2 others in an estate sale thus I have limited knowledge of the engines. The 56 car runs but not great. The 57 car spins over, has 70Lbs. oil pressure.
The 57 car has Kinsler electronic fuel injection, Pectel FC wiring and ECU, the rare Ford Motorsports head, and bigger cams. It tries to start, has oil pressure and holds water. It has one spark plug damaged from seizing in the head, not an engine problem, that is going to require the removal of the cylinder head. If you wanted to run FC pull the engine, install a stock cylinder head which I will include, buy the $2600 FC fuel injection from Quicksilver and assemble.
They have Penske triple adjustable shocks and an AIM Micron data system.
The gearboxs looks good with a boroscope. I do not remember these cars ever being crashed more than a corner replacement.
I have data that shows the 57 car ran many 1.55 lap times at Daytona.
I am slightly familiar with these cars because they ran in Central Florida region where I live. The previous owner did his own work and spent good money on good parts. One car was last run in 2016 and the other 2014 I think and sat in a shop since.
I think they would be a great option to run the first year of FX and go to the runoffs for a very reasonable price.
I am open to reasonable offers but I also have to put a price on them so I think a reasonable price would be 18000.00 each complete or 16,500 each as a roller. Slight discount to buy both.
Thanks very much for looking and please email me at the gmail below with questions. I might take some kind of trade, who knows.

56 as a slider?

Long live the #57! Very fast car. We all miss the driver a lot. Good luck with sale Skip.

I know, Don was one of the nicest people at the track, and the track is usually full of nice people! Car looks very nice.
I suppose I could rent the car also.

I had not thought of that. I suppose I could do that. Make an offer!
I was thinking of making it a FF. I would like a FF.

It seems to me that for the money, someone wanting to run FA, FX, or FS on a regional basis just for fun could go very fast for very little money compared to the other options out there. The 57 car needs a cylinder head repair and it could be running very quickly.
I might be looking for a 1990 to 1994 Van Diemen FF as part trade also. Roller or complete.

the 2 2000 cars and one 96 have been sold. I am sorry, I should have put something up here sooner.
I still have one 96 FC in parts.
I also have 6 or 7 Zetec used long blocks, Couple of cylinder heads, several cams, A couple Pace oil pans and pumps, 4 misc fuel injection systems that are not legal for FC or FX, 3 or 4 Ford Motorsport cylinder heads. Several aluminum flywheels and 2 legal scca flywheels. Coils, and lots of misc. I strongly prefer to sell as a package! Serious inquires only please.
