Posting this for a good friend of mine, local to me and 16VCorey. I know Charlie has put a lot of work into this vee, could be a great deal for someone.
After hanging onto it for six years, I have found myself in a position where I need to sell my Formula Vee. I am moving (locally) and will no longer be able to store it, and in my current situation I could also use the cash.
The car has been local for its entire existence and has been owned throughout by members of the Southern Indiana Region. Mike Freeman is very familiar with the history of this car and I'm sure would be willing to fill in those interested in its pedigree.
Since I have owned it I have rebuilt several things on it, including the brakes, wiring, fuel system and safety gear, with autocrossing in mind. It has a 1600cc engine which I have all the parts except a bearing kit to rebuild. Included with the car are all the parts I have for it, many of which are brand new:
(2) AFCO 38-series double-adjustable shocks Kirkey stock car seat Impact 5-point harness Braille Battery (new and never connected) JAZ fuel cell Gear reduction starter from SR Racing New pistons/jugs for 1600 engine New heads for 1600 engine Dellorto DRLA 36mm carb and matching intake (recently rebuilt by Mark's Metric) Assortment of original parts, spare parts, etc which came with the car when I bought it
The car could be restored to its original condition for the purpose of vintage racing or to preserve as a vintage race car, and as my own research has uncovered, it is a fairly rare car to do so with. However, in the interest of full disclosure I do not believe the collection of parts I have for the car includes a complete set of original parts.
I am asking $2000 or best offer. I have a homebuilt (open) trailer that I bought with the car which is included in the price, but I am willing to separate.
Feel free to respond to this email at hendo_solo_vee at yahoo.com or call or text 270-860-1228 if you are interested.
Thanks,
