EOI Cosworth Turbo 3J Improved Production Car
Hi Folks,
This is not something I really want to do and to be honest if I can find away of helping my parents out other than selling this car I will. So at this stage I’m just looking for expressions of interest in the car and the spares package or just the car at this stage. Please don’t ask me for prices on the spares as they are not for sale until such time as the car sells. I find it hard to put a price on it as it depends how it is sold, eg which motor is in it, what spares etc, so read carefully and think about what package you would like. I’m not going to be giving it away, so if you are serious, make a serious offer clearly telling me what you want. The buyer would have first pick of the spares then I will offer the remainder of the parts. Serious people can be view the car or see it running at the track.
CAR/BODY
1975 MKI Escort 1300 auto converted to a Cosworth Turbo Improved Production car.
This car won the 2007 SA Driver of the year championship and the outright class 'D' SA championship in the same year. The driveline was from my previous Escort that won the same two tiles in 2002 and 2003. The car will do 1:16's around Mallala and has the potential to go into the 15's with its recent upgrades.
When built the shell was taken back to bare metal, all rust repairs, fitment of works arches, modifications, seam welding and fitment of the Walker Chassis roll cage were completed prior to being painted in 2 pack Blood Orange. A full photographic record of the cars build can be provided.
Log booked as a 3J Improved Production car. The log book has no current issues that require attention and it has recently completed it’s pre race scrutiny check.
