Cueball1 Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Good for him getting it on bat. Was for sale here for a long time at a very fair price. Imagine it will do very well there!
panamericano Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Should be very interesting. The aluminium nose and fenders should work a charm. I love them.
Cueball1 Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Wonder how the slipping clutch will effect it. Definitely something he should have fixed before advertising it here. Bet it would have sold here pretty quick if he had. Edited September 29, 2022 by Cueball1

Definitely something he should have fixed before advertising it here. Bet it would have sold here pretty quick if he had. When was his car listed on our website? I would like to look at the listing. Thanx BTW, I have known Scott Minehart of Stalker Cars to be able to snatch and engine from a Stalker in 2 hours. He is so used to working by himself that he can manipulate engine/transmission packages with seemingly great ease due to his skill sets and fish those engine/transmissions into uber-tight spaces with the grace of a prima ballerina.

You will struggle doing that in this Caterham. Look at the photos of the engine bay and imagine removing all that extraneous piping, hoses, etc just to get to the engine. I thought my two V12s were bad...
Cueball1 Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 @Anaximander, it is still listed in the for sale thread. Has been there maybe a couple months now. He took out the price and has put in the link to BAT.

Anaximander Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Stalker Cars IT person appears to have gotten Stalkercars.com back up and running. Someone had some questions for Scott and can glean information about the cars/costs from the website or contact Scott or Glen Minehart for more specific information.

Bruce K Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 14 hours ago, Vovchandr said: I really don't hate it. Seems very well thought out and done. Vovchandr, we have had many points of agreement in the past, but here we diverge: Although I agree this custom car is well-executed, a bad plan well-executed remains a failure. 3 speed Turbo-Hydramatic slushbox? The extended wheelbase resulting from a 4-passenger layout? The massive overweight resulting from a big old iron block V8, an auto trans, solid Olds rear axle and tube frame? These design concepts are anathema to Seven enthusiasts, because they deprive the car of a paramount virtue: Lightness. Further, that rollbar has no posterior braces, so it could easily bend in rollover, an undesirable consequence of. providing seating for 4. Well-done or not, a bad design results in a bad car.

Fair points. I'll admit I judged it purely esthetically and didn't read details.
Bruce K Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I would call this car a sevenesque hot-rod. Probably quick in a straight line, with an interesting appearance and quality construction. However, if this car has a reserve of more than $15,000, I bet it doesn't sell. It's like the guy who built a gorgeous yacht inside his basement: Terrific execution, bad plan.
MV8 Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 This is not a race and that is no cat, nor does it claim to be. It is far too easy to judge builds that started with a pre-internet knowlege base plan; especially when the design goals do not mirror our own. I would not build the same car today that I would have in the 80s, but I would appreciate that build all the same. 2
speedwagon Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 having muscled around a sprint / supermodifien in the 50s and with a 36 ford street rod with much modified suspension. I am not a bit bashful to say that my superformance 7 fills my desire to have a track T roadster. Respect others choices, they may be better. Remember Jim Hall schooling the elate in group 7 with a chevy v8 and powerglide of all choices. My hero of all time is smokey Unik.
