1990 Swift DB4 For Sale
With great reluctance, brought on by the realism of supporting the education of two daughters over the next several years, I'm selling my Swift DB4. This is truly a nice car with a terrific race history which deserves to be on the track and not just sitting in my shop.
Car originally was prepped and engineered by Dave McMillian and Gary Orton for 1989 Formula Super Vee Champion Stewart Crow to use, with great success in the 1991 Toyota Atlantic Championship season. During the off season between the 1991 and 1992 seasons, the car was completely rebuilt including a new tub and then only saw duty at a few races during the first portion of that year. Wins were posted by Crow in ’91 and ’92 using this car at Montreal, Mid Ohio and Toronto along with several other podium finishes. After being retired in mid season in favor of the emerging Ralt chassis, the car was literally shelved in Dallas before being purchased by current owner in 2002. Subsequently, the car has been used for three vintage weekends at Historic Sports Car Racing (HSR) and Sports Car Vintage Race Association (SVRA) events.
Car is the epitome of professional preparation with no expense being spared. It is 100% complete and ready to race. This is a bar none, no excuse car which still appears in the same livery as it ran in the 1992 Toyota Championship season. Car has been rehomologated by SCCA and is ready to race.
Features include:
Low time (approximately 2 hours total) on Hasselgren Toyota Atlantic engine. Twin Webber 48’s, fresh set of headers, new Piper Cross air filters, Electromotive HPV-3b programmable ignition system complete with a laptop for set up with correct software plus a custom communication cable, brand new battery plus a spare, charged halon fire suppression system, Stach tach, racetech analog gauges, digital volt gauge, spa steering wheel with quick disconnect, Tilton starter, Holley race fuel pump and pressure regulator, oil tank heater, extensive use of military spec weather proof electrical connectors, new driver restraint system (dated 4-05), AP 4 piston calipers, vented brake disks, new Ultra rain light, new Spa formula car mirrors (originals included), Tilton Super starter, Tilton clutch, Supertrap muffler. “Thin-man” cockpit inserts still in place with nomex covered custom foam inserts. Extensive and comprehensive use of AN hardware and braided steel lines and hoses through out. This car was engineered and prepped to endure a Pro Atlantic race and it shows!
Staffs gearbox. Fresh setup by Taylors Race Engineering after purchase by current owner. (invoice available) 9:35 Ring gear and pinion (excellent condition). 5 speeds plus reverse (12:33/16:35 1st-2nd combo gear, 17:25, 22:28, 24:24 currently in the box)
Front and rear three way adjustable Penske shocks. Fresh oil and seals 8/03.
Brand new Jongblods (invoice available) with mounted Avons plus spare set of Jongblods (originals that came with the car) with mounted rains.
Would make a killer regional FA or could be competitive at the national level with the right driver. Also can be ran at Vintage/Historic events with HSR or SVRA. The only thing that I know that the car could possibly use is the fuel cell refoamed. The foam appears good but it’s old. Paint is very nice but there are some stone chips. Could use fresh paint but absolutely not necessary. Car is gorgeous as it sits!
Spares include misc gear box bits, gears, ring gear and pinion, half shafts, bell housing/oil tank, carb jets and floats, AP carbon clutch plus pressure plate, flywheel, numerous front sway bars, gear box set up tools, pinion nut tool, Penske shock spares, wet weather front wing, spare nose and box assembly, complete HPV3b ignition system with extra magnetic pickups, wheel nuts, set up notes.
Complete package $27,000.
