Frissbee single-seat Can-Am
Here is an authentic Center-Seat Can-Am Frissbee of the amazing driver Mr. John Morton!
**
This Lola race car began life as a T333CS and was campaigned in Can-Am competition by privateer John Morton beginning in 1978. Following the 1981 season, the steel and aluminum monocoque was fitted with “Frissbee” bodywork before securing a third-place finish at Mid-Ohio and multiple top-five qualifications in 1982. In the ensuing season, the car was acquired by the seller and subsequently participated in various vintage racing events. Finished in white with a C.G.I. Racing livery, the car is powered by a 5.0-liter Chevrolet V8 paired with a Hewland five-speed manual transaxle. The engine was rebuilt in 2018 with a Holley carburetor, staggered-diameter center-lock wheels, adjustable coilovers, ventilated disc brakes, a fire-suppression system, a multi-point harness, and a Moto Lita steering wheel. This Frissbee-bodied Lola T333CS is offered in California with an uninstalled set of tires and a bill of sale.

Following the 1974 dissolution of Can-Am racing, the single-seater Formula 5000 series became the leading road-racing series in North America. F5000 was an open-wheel class until 1976, when it ushered in a second-generation of Can-Am racing initially based on fitting bodywork over the F5000-style chassis. This example was acquired as a Lola T333CS chassis in the late 1970s by John Morton and is said to have been assembled utilizing various components from his F5000 car.
In the early 1980s, chassis #HU8 was fitted with “Frissbee” bodywork designed by Brad Frisselle. The composite bodywork is said to have been refinished in white with its Can-Am #46 C.G.I. racing livery under current ownership. Further exterior details include an air intake scoop, brake cooling ducts, vented fenders, sidepods housing radiators, dual mirrors, and a rear wing.
The 13? and 15? center-lock wheels are secured via hex nuts with Avon racing slicks measuring 20.0-9.0 up front and 27.0-14.0 out back. The car rides on a fully independent suspension with an anti-roll bar and adjustable coilovers fitted at each corner. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with the rears mounted inboard.
The cockpit houses a single racing seat equipped with a multi-point harness. Additional appointments include a fire-suppression system, a headrest, a right-hand shift lever, and a kill switch.
A Moto Lita steering wheel is wrapped in worn upholstery and fronts a tachometer as well as gauges for oil pressure and temperature.
The 5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block V8 features Pontiac-branded cylinder heads, a Holley carburetor, and an MSD ignition system. The engine was rebuilt in 2018, we have` a pic of the invoice on file. Tubular headers feed a dual exhaust system, and the batteries are said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Hewland transaxle.
An uninstalled set of slick tires is included in the sale!
