The Daimler and Vanagon are spoken for. :) We're starting the rejuvenation on the Daimler pretty soon (as soon as the LSx swap Henry J gets finished and out of the shop) and the Vanagon is just about finished except for the A/C (awaiting new vacuum pump to evacuate system).

The dart will be up for sale soon, it's got a 383 in it.

Sigh, why are so many people selling things I want so much when I'm trying to reduce the inventory.

Is this a vehicle that could never be RR ready for 6'2" person?

In reply to trigun7469:

I was 6'3" last time the Navy checked and I fit but my 13 Wide combat boots scrape on the bodywork in front. With driving shoes it probably wouldn't be an issue. Girth is probably more of an issue than height.

I'm pretty sure that I'm still interested in this if I can find some way to manage the distance.

It probably doesn't matter, but the company that made FV cars was "Zink" with a "k" not Zinc with a "c." In the (unlikely) event that someone is looking for a specific old Zink FV car this might not show up in their searches.

What would it take to make this formula vee legal for vintage racing?

I'd think an update of safety and fuel would get it legal. I'd want to freshen up the hydraulics

you'd have to swap the motor back to the 40hp too

Right, I would definitely want to run through everything and see what I am dealing with, I just wasn't sure what was changed to make it F mod legal

The engine was changed out for a 1600. The roll hoop was raised to fit a taller driver. There was some changes to the rear suspension, converted over to a single coilover setup. The induction has been changed over to a 40 DCOE with a custom intake. The original carb (28 solex?) is with the old engine. The old 40hp motor was taken out due to loose main bearings which was when the car was moved to FMOD. There's molds for the body panels here too. The belts are way out of date. I can take some more pictures if you guys want detailed shots of specific parts.

I know I've seen vintage vees with the single coilover setup but does anyone know if they'd allow this car to be run like that since it isn't period correct for this car? Sounds like all I would need to be legal is to swap the engine and possibly convert the rear suspension back aside from bringing everything else up to date

Yes, it has a title and tires with almost no miles on them. They're over 5 years old but the car was stored inside until a month or two ago.
