[Croc]

Found on Craigslist - started with a CMC locost chassis with lots of Stalker bits grafted on. No affiliation or links - just relaying the ad to interested users of this forum.

This car began life back in 2002 as a CMC 3 inch extended frame. Toyota AE86 based car. The previous owner rebuilt the front half of the frame to Brunton Stalker specs. Upper and lower control arms are from a stalker kit. Toyota corolla struts converted and altered for proper geometry. Steering shaft has spherical bearings. Rear axle is LSD rear end from an 87 Corolla with 3.58 final drive (70 mph 2nd gear) and disc brakes. 4-link rear end with spherical bearings and panhard rod. Diamond racing wheels 13x8 with Sumitomo tires. Lots of tread left on the tires.

 

Engine is a 20-valve 4age with throttle body injection. The previous owner rebuilt the bottom end of the motor with new bearings, rings, and gaskets. The ECU is a Megasquirt standalone fully programmable fuel and ignition management. Custom air intake to allow for a filter or forced induction. I'll also include a set of velocity stacks with the car as well. Fuel surge tank under 7 gallon tank to eliminate fuel starve. Walbro 255 inline fuel pump. Exhaust is custom made equal length 4-1 header with 3 inch exhaust that features two internal auger mufflers. Innovate LC-1wideband O2 sensor and controller.

 

Body work: Aluminum interior and side panels. Rear end is aluminum wrapped in black vinyl.

Front and rear fenders are high quality fiberglass from a Stalker. Hood and scuttle are also high quality fiberglass from Stalker but custom made with no scoop. Car also features a carbon fiber dash with Autometer gauges, and carpeted floors. Kirkey racing seats with brand new covers (I will also include the old set of covers as well). Paint is base/clear coat Dodge Viper blue.

Chassis is painted Rustoleum silver.

 

This is a great car. I have owned it for 4 years and put a couple thousand miles on it since getting it street legal. Rides very nicely on bumps and also handles very well. Street legal, registered and insured in PA. Titled as a 1962. Inspection is good through July 2014. Good power and very sleek and clean looking.

 

$11000

 

Looks to be in great condition. The Toyota engine is a gem, well suited for seven duties. Price is very reasonable to start at.

I agree the 4ag is a great little motor, but I'm not so sure that final drive is well suited for the 7 (at least coupled with the likely t50 toyota transmission)

 

It looks like a reasonably nice locost, but difficult to tell with those pictures.
