veritech-z Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 anybody familiar with www.race-cars.com? you can buy old race cars/parts/trailers whatever, and here are a few highlights: For the low price of $35,000 us, you could own the 1994 SCCA GT4 national champion toyota tercel... or parts to turn your vg30 into a 750-1000hp electromitive gtp engine... or an ilmor cheverolet 265 indy motor... 100,000 euro? or for$30,500 us you could have this, just without the turbo...

Mr.INSANE Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Whats suprising is the amount of extremely expensive stuff and seeing the site looks like ... crap I wouldnt really trust it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 they seem to work off of a consignment basis, so I don't think that they are making much more than the cost of the adds people place. That may explain the poor production quality of the site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennysgreen280zt Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 My dad buys and sells parts on that site, and is going to be trying to sell his formula ford on there. I think they get alot of traffic even though the layout is poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNeedForZ Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 that don't look like a Z to me.... does look like some kind of old nissan though... what is it? Looks like a 2 plus 2 Z. Of all the oldschool Datsun/Nissan cars, only a Z can swallow a small block with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnutthehutt Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I actually think it's kinda cool. Here's the link to the Ad, Veritech-Z wins, it is in fact a 72 351 Mustang. http://race-cars.com/carsales/ford/1076639389/1076639389ss.htm This outrageous looking one of a kind vintage road race car has great history having been raced all over Europe including the British BARC series driven by Roy Yates. This highly developed car was built for the British version of IMSA with the best engineering available at the time including aero development by the Benton F1 team. Extensive documantation is included with the car. It has been well developed and restored to race trim with safety and brake mods to bring it up date for historic competition (HSR Log Book and SVRA legal).

BringIt Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 The Shop that that Last Cosworth Engine is in. Ive been to that guys shop a few years ago. I talked to them about building my old DSM engine. Soon as I walked in the door, I knew I was in the wrong spot. Nothing but older 4 cam Historic Race Engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I think that Mustang is pretty bitchin. One thing that's kinda weird is it looks like it's set up for circle track. The suspension is way higher on the right, and the seat has the right side helmet brace. Still, I'd take that thing to the track for sure! I can only imagine the looks you'd get in that thing!!! Can you imagine blowing by some guy in a new Mustang with that thing?!? That'd be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 How much do you think that thing weighs though? It looks massive, and that's the era of aircraft carrier muscle cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Well, it is a tube frame, and it does have this listed: * Construction: fibreglass doors, hood, fenders, hand made aluminum rear fenders, spontoons, undertray/tunnel * Taylor Wing, aluminum front air dam/splitter, Lexan Windows So who knows??? I don't think it's "light" regardless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 It's probably lighter than your average new mustang on the track though. What are "Spontoons"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm guessing that's the rear flare but according to wikipedia a spontoon is something entirely different: A Spontoon is type of European lance that came into being after the pike-man craze, coming into play in the middle of the 17th century. Also called the European half pike, this very much resembled a pike that had a much shorter staff; usually no more than 7 feet long. The spontoon is remembered for being more of a signaling weapon than a polearm of war. This has the honor of being one of the only pole weapons which stayed in use long enough to make it into American history. As late as the 1890's the spontoon could still be seen accompanying marching soldiers. In that context I definitely would not want a fiberglass spontoon...
