A well hidden barn find was discover and brought to my home today. It has some very obvious race features that I will point out as you look at the pictures. Vital statistics are: 225 Industrial engine and automatic transmission with gear reduction rear end. Total weight as built 5850#. Built in 1980. I am a little puzzled why an obvious racing vehicle has a passenger seat in it. Any help would be appreciated.
Obvious, Big tires on the rear and skinnies on the front.
Super low front facia made of 1/2" plate. Ground clearance 1 1/2" Aero should be great
Not sure if this is for the wheelie bar or the parachute. See stainless zommie in the lower right. Also has a 1 1/2" thick plate 30" square mounted on it to aid with traction.
Factory ratchet shifter proves this was for racing. Also see the parachute lever beside it.
Passenger side Alternator for better weight distribution.
Factory dual ballast racing ignition system.
Well, that is enough of the craziness. There are a lot of good parts on this thing. Some things I will use some I will sell. If you see something you want let me know. Basically I got it for the engine and tranny. The electronic ignition, alternator, and starter are all things I can use. Once I start dismantling it I will put a post in the for sale section.

Heck, someone may need a stump pulled! Looks like the "bobbed" pick-up bed could support a few cases of beer!
