Wynnfirst body for Predator DSR

I am looking for an original Wynnfirst body for a Yamaha powered Predator DSR. Please let me know if you have any information.

Have you contacted Jeff or Jason Miller?

i have and got a replacement nose. Unfortunately it is a different style from a newer or older body. Mine has straight side on the front, the new one has curved sides. It fits but I's not quite right. I can send a picture if that help identify it.

I believe you’re referring to Jeff’s 1974 car, and would recommend you post a photo here in case others can help.

My honest confidence for that is very low, though. So far as I know, only Jeff ever drove any early Wynnfurst (this is the correct spelling).

(I was raised in Oconomowoc, by the way)

sorry about the spelling error. This is the body I'm looking for.

No worries on spelling, I only corrected for future searches of such a rare car.

That body’s much later than what I was thinking — and I believe is based on a FF Lola T540. Hope someone comes along with more info.

So, I just went down into the basement with the spiders and dust and found my original (undated) copy of a Wynnfurst sales brochure. Mr. Pix is correct, it was originally designed to fit the Lola 540. If you PM me with an email address I can send you a copy of it. According to the brochure, the original price was listed as $2,200.00. A little too pricey for me to use on my new BCNUMk1 homebuilt so built my own mold and popped out a body for less than $1,000.00.
Did this Predator originally have a monoshock front suspension? Saw it at Elkhart once upon a time.

No, the car is the Yamaha powered car that I think was built first. If I remember right they tried to design it to look like a CanAm car. The mono shock car has a two stroke engine in it.

I admit confusion as the body looks nothing like any of Jeff’s cars that I recall.

Did Wynnfurst build a specific body for the Predator, or does the Predator use a body from a Wynnfurst chassis design?

And I can say without reservation that the body in your post looks *nothing* like the first Wynnfurst from about 1974. That car had a chiseled look, almost like the very first Shadow “go kart” Can-Am car.

The body in your photos is reminiscent of a mid-‘80s Lola T590-series S2000 car. And at least to my knowledge, every Wynnfurst used a two-stroke, except for possibly the car they ran in the 2-litre Can-Am class, not sure...

Just to clarify, it is not a Wynnfurst car. It has a Predator frame. They first made Mini Indy cars and made two DSR's, one with a two stroke with a snowmobile motor and the one that I have a Ymamaha R1. The information on the car says it is a Wynnfurst body.

Ahhh, Thanks.

Haven’t the Millers been eager to help?

I got a front end from them and as I said it's not quite right. I'll have to contact again, they are really great people.
