FE: Classifieds: Cars For Sale
Chassis #97 and #99 for sale
These cars have had a fairly unique and easy life since I bought them in 2005. They've spent a limited amount of time running around smooth parking lots at 1/3 throttle opening as part of corporate programs, or for the random enthusiast who wanted a taste of what the view is actually like from the cockpit. They've each been on the track a couple of times each year, again at part throttle. I had designs on offering them up for rent-a-ride stints in regional competition, but the formula car scene in Ontario is embarrassingly weak at present. Like all small businesses, I must go where the financial winds blow me, and I already know that I won't have any time this year to do anything with these cars. It drives me nuts to see them standing still, so they're on the market.
Both cars were assembled at Comprent. The drivelines are up to date, apart from the latest MBE reflash. I've tried to price them so that after adding the other upgrades (crush box, Penskes, steering column), they will still represent good deals relative to other lightly used cars.
The gearboxes are in great shape. I pull the gearsets out regularly to check them, but that's become an exercise in wasting gear oil. Because they've spent 93% of their running time in 1st gear only, the gears and dogs are as new.
Chassis #99 has a fresh motor in it (less than 2 hours). Yep, managed to crack that low hanging oil fitting loose, the novice driver failed to heed the warning on the dash and cooked the engine.
I don't have a lot of spares for the cars. One of the main things that led me to these cars was the CSR support network, and the consistently quick services of Comprent and One Formula have made maintaining any kind of inventory needless. I have two brand new sets of rains and a single set of wheels. There is one front and one rear quicklift, and two aluminum stands, which I would imagine will go with the first car sold.
The cars are currently sitting in the shop in the midst of the end-of-season checkover. I've also attached an older picture of a car at the Mosport development track. I can help with delivery throughout North America, if distance from Toronto is otherwise a concern.
Chassis #99 $32,000
Chassis #97 $29,000
