Hmmm...I've got a lot of perfectly functional bits including an engine and tranny sitting around. Would it make any sense to marry them up!?!? What would I be getting myself into?

I saw the ad and it sounds nice. It's a high end GT car, but you knew that right? Would make an exciting DE, NASA GT? racer. You looking to go racing?

I don't want to drop out of the track stuff just because I crashed my car. I don't want to mess up another RS, and I've got lots of bits sitting around doing nothing right now on my RS. I'm wondering if I can make a marriage, so to speak, and get a nice dedicated track car out of my current mess.

My other alternative is to buy something already prepared and save myself the hassle of starting something from this low state.

time = $

How much you got?

This would be a full build and then ... probably have to trailer it.

Got the time, space, know-how, patience, time, $$$, time ...?

Then, I'd say go for it. Everything is possible, just takes time and $$$. Not poking fun, just being a realist having put together a few race cars, watched other people get paid to put together a few and also put together several street cars.

$11K for what he has into it is a good deal. I'd inspect cage, FG / CF fitment of panels, rust / structural typical places, etc... befor I pulled the trigger.

I really have no idea what I'd be getting myself into, that's why I'm asking. I have no idea what I could use out of my wreck vs. have to buy, etc., and there is no way I could do it without help...and I mean paid help. I'm not too worried about time, though it would be nice to have it ready for next year.

I'm day-dreaming a little right now because I feel like a fish out of water having no car, no track time, no nothing.

It hoits!

get it

[justin m]

That was my chassis. Sold it to Wes Nicolas(who had to move out of the area, become a busy corporate attorney, and stop all of his track car activities).
Wes has stored it for a few years in his garage at Summit hoping to get around to finishing it.
No rust issues. Plain 73 tub was clean/rust free when I bought it from Bob Williams. I then had Mitch Piper build the cage, attach all the body work and finish the tub. The build up of that stuff was all professionally done by Mitch, no expense spared there. Wes has the receipts to prove it.... There is still a lot of work to be done, but if you have the engine, tranny, etc. That's the major stuff, just need time to hook it all up.
This is an amazing price considering what it cost to get to where it is. I am sure Wes can make arrangements for you to check it out. Pretty sure it is still up at Summit
I sold it to go back to stock class racing with some of my friends.
If you have any build up questions, let me know.
Feel free to contact me for more details.

Man, I love Dorkiphus. I don't think I could have found the originator of this chassis any other way. I hope we can chat.

I don't know anything about it. I just saw chassis, thought of my motor & tranny, and suddely had a woody.

It would be a big project. If you had an early car you'd be better off with this, but a LOT of your 964 stuff won't work. Trans won't fit because of the torsion bar tube (unless it's been cut out for coil overs, which I didn't see in the add). Oil cooling might work with a lot of effort. Front suspension? Nothing you can use from the 964.

IMO, if you want to look for a roller to xfer parts, look for a 964 or 993 roller. For this 73, about all you could use without a lot of fabrication is your engine.
