Included with the car are front and rear wings.

If one wanted to convert the drivetrain back to the way it was run in the late 80's, I still have the Lotus 907 engine and Mazda ultra-close ratio 4-spd. The engine suffered a spun rod bearing and needs the rod journals turned down 0.020". Included would be the Mikuni 44 carbs, 2 blocks, 2 heads, good set of rods, stock pistons, Arias 12.5 to 1 pistons, dry sump pan and tank. $1500 for this package.

Are you kidding me???

 

People here are making fun of my new to me Caterham's steering wheel that was suggested was heisted from a dune buggy. Suave Less or aka Less Suave, Suave's evil twin said to me that the Racetech steering wheel was too small for his wings and he is a minature stork. Now I have two animal type cars. A storker and a cat. What fun!

Hey Bob,

The steering wheel was "heisted" from another car ........ a March 84C Indy car. It's been working fine for over three decades.

I think you answered your own question. Yes, they are kidding you.

Ron, thanks for identifying the wheels provenance. I have Wirewheel just a couple of miles from my new home that likely has or has seen these steering wheels on some of the actual former race cars they sell. I visited last week and they have the last Acura NSX 11/11 which is about a work of vintage racing art/technology that they refurbished to like new and will be selling shortly. It is a stunning example of racing with significant factory sponsorship money. BTW, the autox car you are selling with your accompanying youtube.com videos show what appears to be an amazing purpose built car. Nice job. What class is it running in in SCCA autocross?
