For Sale:
1985 RF Van Dieman Formula Ford. This is a great starter Formula Ford racer for someone looking to enter Formula racing. I bought the car in 2003 and took a 2nd Place in the Rocky Mountain Division SCCA in 2003. You may access the Colorado SCCA website and review all race data that the car was entered in, and review all Championship points totals. The 85 RF Formula Ford has a new rebuilt engine with less than 30 minutes on the engine. The engine was rebuilt by Bradford Precision Engines in Littleton, Colorado. Bill Bradford has a long history of specializing in the rebuilding of 1600 and 2000 engines. The engine has been dynoed and I have the dyno sheet available. The engine rebuild was completed in November of 2004. The engine was just tested 1-30-2005 at ArroyoSecoRaceway in New Mexico, an SCCA accredited racetrack with less than 30 minutes on the engine. The car runs great. The car has been maintained by JCR Ltd. in Boulder Colorado over the last year. JCR Ltd has over 30 years of racing experience. I have three sets of wheels for the car, which includes two sets of Van Dieman Turbo wheels and one set of Madin wheels. The RF 85 has all NEW aeroquipe oil lines installed by JCR Ltd. I have extra gears for the Hewland Mark 9 gearbox, some extra rod ends. The body work is in good condition, does show some stress cracks as to be expected. Custom beaded seat. Has Crow Enterprises harness good till Oct 2005. 85 RF Van Dieman has NEW Weber carburator and NEW oil pump. I bought the car at age 50 and started racing exclusively under SCCA sanctioning. I am selling the RF 85 FF as I have stepped up to the F2000 class. I would be willing to meet the new buyer within a 300 mile trip to deliver the car. Photos are available upon request or you may see a photo on the PanAm region SCCA website at: www.panamscca.org/gallery.htm I will answer any questions. Car is red with yellow side pods and yellow rear panels, and carrys New Mexico styled graphics. The graphics can be removed with a hair blow dryer to remove them.
The RF 85 Van Dieman is priced at $9500.00 or reasonable offer. The car would normally sell for $7000-$7500 as a roller, and has the new rebuilt engine. I have over $5000 into the engine alone, which makes this Formula Ford a great car for the asking price. Many racers will attest they have put more $$ into their cars than what they can sell them for. That's racing. Car is located in Las Cruces, NM This RF85 Van Dieman Formula Ford is race ready.
