    For Sale 1987 Red Devil T87

    For sale chassis T87-1, lay down model with 494 Non Rave. Original "Hinged chassis" was repaired, reinforced, and wheel base was lengthened to 79.5 inches, when converted to the Rotax engine. Many updates that include: New Polaris primary and Artic Cat roller secondary from QRE. Poly chain drive with new spare belt. New custom 4130 rear axle. Four gallon aluminum tank.

    Final drive ratio is set up for road racing as I build as a track day car. Should be easy to change sprockets to achieve auto cross ratios. It has one set of mounted R25s, one set of mounted rains, 2 sets of scuffed R25s, plus includes many spares and tools. The car has 7 track days and 2 autocrosses since rebuild and has been proven reliable and good handling. I have original log books, and car history.

    Estimated weight in the logbook is 570 lbs. without fuel and driver. Even with the mods I would still think it would still be under 600 lbm

    I also have 1 440 Kawi for sale:

    Complete engine has been Sold
    Still available, older but un fired Quadrini rebuild with receipt (I verified it with Mike) with a PWS starter, no carbs, water pump, partial electronics.

    Asking $2500 for the car and spares.

    $200 for each engine.

    Tempting, probably a good thing it is so far away or I would have to figure out how to put something else in the garage.

    I will take pictures for you with the body work off, give me a couple of days to post them.

    I have not had this car on scales. I can provide the weight listed in the latest log book when it was run with a 440.

    The main chassis has not been modified, but there is added weight with the 494 replacement, custom engine plate, thicker tubing for the swing arm, and the reinforcement to the driveline cradle. If the dry weight is really needed, I should be able to rent a hoist scale.


    Thanks

    Default T87 Red Devil

    In the logbooks does it show my name as being one of the drivers back in 2005? Someone thinks this is my old car and I don't think it is.

    Hi Ed,

    You are correct, you did not own this car.

    Yes the car is still available I am 5'10 and was 210 when I bought the car, the fit was comfortable with a little room to spare. There is also room to move the pedals forward too. The best answer I can tell you is most likely.

    It appears that the body work has been been replaced. Is the original body still available?

    Thanks for the info,

    The original body work is not available. From the pictures in the log books, the body work was replaced in about 1990-91, and probably at the same time when the hoops where replaced.

    Default Interested in Car

    I am looking for a cheap formula 500, 440, or any cheap formula car preferably with a motorcycle or snowmobile engine (fine if not). It is going to be used by my high school's racing team to help teach some of the members how to drive competitively. It will be going to a good cause. This car fits the criteria perfectly. Please contact me at malekyehyamedia@gmail.com me and my team are very interested in this car.

    No, the roll bar has been updated but the foot box an fuel cell has not. In order to correct the foot box, the seating angle would need to be changed too, this would require the hoop to be raised.

    This car will need significant additional investment if you plan to road race in SCCA F500.
