Brunton Stalker M-Spec XL Classic For Sale

[jevs]

Unfinished Brunton Stalker M-Spec XL Classic for sale. This is a new construction with new parts only!

 

Power plant is a brand new LS376 crate motor mated to a brand new Tremec T56 Magnum close ratio 6-speed and uses a Cadillac CTS-V LSD rear differential. This will be a very fast and very agile machine!

 

This car comes with about everything I could think of to complete it. It cannot be bought new or built any cheaper (unless you put used or inferior parts in it)! This is probably the fastest Lotus 7 type car out there that you can build starting with a kit! It should make near or over 500HP once tuned and I believe it should weigh around ~1700lbs. Since this is the XL, it is ideal for Road Racing and/or larger framed drivers. It has a stance near that of a Corvette I believe. The XL has enough room to even add AC if you wanted.

 

This comes with a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin only that states “Replica / Facsimile Of circa 1962 Lotus 7” and is intended to be street legal by following the normal kit car or special construction rules of your state. I will also be providing all the documentation and receipts for parts.

 

I will let the build write up speak for itself as far as the time, care, planning, and fabrication work that has been done so far. I am still working on the car as time permits, but not much time is being permitted because I have several more important projects going that are taking all my time. The good majority of the hardest work and fabrication is already done.

You will be getting all of my time, parts research, ordering, engineering, machining, planning, fabrication, etc. for free basically. I am really just trying to sell for cost of parts or best offer. This is not a desperation sale, so if I cannot get a fair price I will be keeping it and finishing when I can. I may also consider trades or partial trades to help a potential buyer.

 

There is no wait time for a kit with this one or a huge amount of precious time to waste researching and gathering up parts to complete it. This car can be complete pretty quick at this point for racing or street fun. This is ready to finish with pretty much everything to finish it down to the license plate frame.

 

This is not a cheap or low budget build using sub-par or used parts. It is a high level build with all brand new parts and drivetrain! There are a lot of custom fabricated parts and extra work done to this car that you won't likely get on any other or be able to buy as new options if you have one built.

 

I have about 1200 high res photos of every part of the build so far. Every single nut, bolt, and part is completely documented in an Excel spreadsheet with part numbers, date of purchase, vendor, the date of installation for parts that have been fitted etc. I will also be supplying another 800+ files of parts data, instruction manuals, all the build files and videos, CAD files of parts I designed and machined, CAM files, parts data, electrical information, data sheets and instruction manuals for parts, pictures of other builds, etc. This is over 13 gigs in total!

 

I would be glad to share more info with any prospective buyers so you know exactly what you are getting. You will know every single part, part number, and where it came from. I have a huge stack of paperwork and receipts as well as the electronic files. This car can't be done any cheaper without going used parts or sacrificing on the build quality. I shopped hard, used every discount code, dealer cost, etc. to get the best pricing on everything. I would say the prices have only gone up! This will be a great deal for anyone looking at buying a new kit or that was considering buying a finished car. This one can still have the finishing touches done to your desires. You will also be avoiding a lot of machining, fabricating, and welding that you may or may not have the tools and machines to do.

 

Summary of some of the features:

 

• T Bar full cage upgrade
  
• Electric in column power steering upgrade
  
• Brunton aluminum fuel cell
  
• The entire fuel system is upgraded beyond the makers suggestions
  
• Aluminum shock upgrade
  
• RFID ignition setup (no key needed)

• Custom modified surge tank

• Custom catch can setup
  
• Custom mounting for exhaust with proper isolation
  
• Modified hood for rod cover "bumps" and better fitment
  
• Reworked cowl for nice hood mating and to use rubber weather stripping for an excellent gap and full support
  
• Custom hood clamp mounts welded to frame with extras added up front
  
• Hood and clamps, etc are laid out in way that will make adding side body panels later around the engine bay easy if ever wanted
  
• Custom light weight NASCAR style hood prop setup
  
• Custom throttle pedal setup tuned to proper weight, travel for this car, and stock GM smooth movement feel
  
• Custom hand brake mounting and placement
  
• Custom dash mounting to actually use hidden fasteners and capture the bottom to the tunnel
  
• Real carbon fiber race mirrors
  
• Welded on tow hitch with receiver
  
• Rerouted brake lines for easier replacement of differential
  
• Custom welded in protection for brake lines in case of an off track/road incident
  

 

There is much more than that and more goodies for you to complete, but a lot is shown in the linked build. I will be glad to answer emails or take calls to assist with the rest of the build if questions need answered after you purchase it.

 

This car could be finished fairly quickly given your amount of free time and depending on how much more you want to deviate from the original kit.

 

Attached is a pdf of the parts list so far. This will give you an idea of what it really takes to build this and what you will be getting. You won't be shelling out a bunch more money on parts to finish it and you will be doing way less work than starting from scratch.

 

I have started with mounting the seats, but I have not posted pics yet to the build log.

 

I have just under 40k in materials only.

Man, you've really put a lot of work into this car. Would of liked to see your end result. Someone is going to get a great package.

If anyone is interested, my house is selling and they only gave us two weeks to close. We have to move into a temporary living situation which means the Stalker has to go into storage. If anyone wants to make a reasonable offer, now is the time. I would also consider trades or partial trades if it is something that is ready to resell without needing work. I have to put my entire shop and tools into storage for a bit, so no projects other than building a new house are going to get done any time soon.
