Sorry to bomb the lists with an ad, but I think some listers might be very
interested in this.
I've got a very nice Vintage racing Bugeye I've brought up to spec. over the
last three years. It was a perennial champion at the Waterford Hills Road
Racing Club in the 70's through about 1982.
I've done everything to make it current and fresh including installing a
fuel cell, new harness, Kirky seat, fresh front bearings, complete brake
rebuilds, new hydraulics with Willwood duel brake master cylinders.
It has all the basic goodies like Panhard Rod Front & rear roll bars.
Has a nice Vintage minimal looking roll bar, but out of site is a well made
cage that really stiffens up the chassis and gives a lot of protection.
It has a solid 948 that just needs a different head or different pistons to
bring the CR down to a level that won't blow head gaskets. Oil pressure was
good.
It has a complete professional gearbox rebuild with cryo treating (about
$2,800)
It has a fresh professionally built 1275 Vintage race engine with lots of
good stuff that will be completed in a few weeks.
I had it out at a Midwest council school and race, and a VSCDA weekend in
2004 with the 948 and it handled great and I got easily down to a 1:34.02 at
Blackhawk as a novice driver with little practice.
Here's the deal. It's all ready to go, but my tastes have changed over the
last three years and I REALLY HAVE A BUG TO BUY A SPEC RACER FORD. I'm
willing to eat the five or six grand and hundreds of hours I've put in the
car and sell it for the original price I paid plus whatever the bill from my
engine guy is for the 1275 rebuild. I won't know that price till he gets
back from vacation in a week. It's possible I might sell the car with the
948 separate from the 1275 as well. I have a trailer I might sell with it
for an additional price. The combinations and price are somewhat in the air,
but someone is going to get a good deal any way you look at it.
