Indy Auction, FC car and Pace Trailers

[steve zemke]

Just received a flyer for an auction in Noblesville on Tuesday, inspection on Monday. A FC car, probably a Mazda, and three Pace American trailers of various lengths, one 44' and two 28'. Says the plant is closed FEPCO Inc. Myron Bowling Auctioneers, phone 513-738-3311. Don't know how I got on their mailing list but if I were closer I would attend.

Strange looking FC.

That's like no FC car I've ever seen:

I like the blue & yellow hospitality vehicle in the background.

Those look like an early set of Halibrands. If so, they are worth more than the car !

[Purple Frog]

If under that weird color paint is magnesium, those wheels are worth something.


Isn't that a 1994 Radon 94MK1? It certainly looks like a Radon rollhoop.

[starkejt]

That is definitely an FC. Formula Cobbledtogether.

It's just a bad camera angle! LOL!

According to the Auction Catalog it is a "Volkswagon Formula C" hmmm. Could it be an early Super Vee or the very early version of the "Indy Lites" which I think were VW based cars?

Or is it simply Formula Crapola

Gotta love the wing angles!

If I weren't so busy, I'd drive the 20 miles up there just to see what the heck it is!

Compare them to these:

I wonder if that's HPD's hospitality motorhome before the re-fit.

Wheels look larger in the picture than the FC-Formula Super-V 13" diameter specs.

would be a ten hour round trip for me - but yeah, inquiring minds want to know!

[lawyerbob]

just sold for $2500 - still wonder what it is!

Since it had a VW in it, and was in the Indy area, it could have been a Shriner car used in month of May parades. With that said, the Halibrands look huge compared to the rest of the car, making such possiblities as a mid-60's USAC Indycar doubtful.

Then again, if you take the paint off a clown, you can find just about anything...

[rock]

This was am old Shriner car who ever brought this paid to much

[Pop Chevy]

IF those are 15 in mag Halibrands they could be worth 2 k or better !

[Josh_Kimble]

What do you mean an old shriner car?

[marshall9]

What do you mean an old shriner car?

Never met a young Shriner, what do they drive?

[kiwimanz]

I loved the exceptionally long wheel base.
Clown car come to mind!

The Shriners had little race cars decked-out to look mini-IndyCars for the 500 Festival Parades.
Could be an old FV or FF chassis underneath...or just a homemade, purpose-built frame (a.k.a. 7-pieces of 3/4" square tube, soldered together, that wouldn't hold up in a Soap Box Derby)
Still...interesting...
