Car year: 1979

Condition: Project

History: One of a kind car, well known in the historic community. Manufacturer’s Identification number is 78-19. SCCA log book (ID No. 79 114) says the car was built in 1979.

Car was campaigned in the Bosch Gold Cup Series and the USAC Mini-Indy Series from 1979 thru 1981. Driven by John Kalagian in 1979-80, and by Roberto Boffi in 1981-82. Since then, it has been sitting gathering dust. Therefore, the car will need to be completely gone through in detail.

Features, specs, options: Bob Riley / John Mills design.

• 1600cc water-cooled Heidegger VW engine
• Full-length monocoque tub
• Inboard rear brakes
• Everything below center of wheels
• Two different styles of nose cones, as well as several splitters
• Nose cone mold for "sports car" style nose

Extensive spares including body panels (some brand new, never used), spare suspension parts, gears, aluminum wrenches, several different rate coil springs, Castor/Camber gauge, safety wire with tool, along with general hardware (spare nuts and bolts, jam nuts, tappet spacers).

Owner sold his home and is moving to an apartment. Must sell, as he will have no garage to keep car/spares.

Asking price: $13,000 OBO
Contact phone: 248-760-6827
Contact name: Roberto Boffi
Car location: Detroit area

Because I absolutely love this car and want to see it go to a good home where it will be restored and raced in vintage events all over, you should see this...

I didn't realize that was the car on the cover. Several years ago I loaned my copy to an Apexspeeder somewhere and it never came back.

in that last pic you can really see the Riley design influence of Foyt's coyotes of the same time period.

I was st the shop MANY times when this car was designed and built. Loved it! Brilliant car!

Hi, any idea where I could get a copy of the book Thank You Lloyd.

I know they had sold them for only a few bucks for the FV 50th when the author was in attendance, but I have also seen them pop up on eBay, Amazon and other book selling sites for over $400, which is lunacy.

I'd say, keep your eyes open on the various classifieds and auction sites if you are really trying to find one.

I have a copy of the Schupack book I bought when a friend was running a FSV. He isn't racing, so when someone buys the car, send me a note and I will mail the book

If anyone looking wanted this car as a chassis-only, we need an engine and perhaps could do a two-way purchase?

Ditto. If I wasn't building a P2 I'm pretty sure this would be in my garage.

Zero money laying around!

Not sure if these pictures will help in the sale, but won't hurt! The first picture is Mosport 1979, second picture is 1978 at St. Jovite. Driver in both pictures is John Kalagian.

Perhaps it's actually a 1978 build? or is the first one actually a different car?

They are in my post? Are they not showing up for you?

Edit: figured out the problem, pictures should be showing up now!

Interesting, that last photo is the nose on the car in the current photo from the first post, though the livery is not on the car as it sits today. I wonder if there was a second car, or if that paint scheme was before the green.

Understand only one car. White pic. is early/first owner/driver/trim.....green is later/current with present owner/driver... Had 2 nose designs....decided that road course nose (on on car now and on cover) worked best on both road and oval....

Bob L.

Both noses are included with the car including spare noses and a nose mold. Car needs to go. Thanks

Would it be legal to add an engine cover?
