LATE MODEL ASPHALT PROVEN CHASSIS FOR SALE $1500

S O L D 8-27-16

This is my late model at Old Birmingham. The #23 turned 20.0 sec at this track driven by Gary Nix which was very competitive at the time. At an ARCA race around the pole went to Freddie Query at 20.23. Gary Nix did not drive for me. The chassis is for sale or entire late model. See below. The last time this chassis was at speed was at the Snowball in 2006. In 2006 I nearly succumbed to "farmers lung" and after years of recovery I am unable maintain a meaningful operation. It has been stored since.



Gary Nix originally built this chassis, a big spring unit, which in my opinion is easier to setup as compared to coil over version. The front clip is a Howe 1994 and I have  the Howe setup manual and proper spring assortment for 1/4 and 1/2 mile tracks which goes with the sale. contact jmh8743 AT bellsouth DOT net





INCLUDED in the chassis sale:
  • 3 LF lower control arms, one modified to control bump steer.
  • 1 rf lower control arm
  • various upper control arms
  • instrument cluster and internal sheet metal
  • rack steering
  • adjustable, bearing mounted torsion bar
  • various shocks although I recommend you acquire adjustable 
  • full tube chassis
  • clutch and brake hanger(s) firewall mounted.
  • dual brake and single clutch reservoirs
  • sequenced brake pressure adjustment.
  • Howe chev headers
SALE - SALE - $7500 gets car and enclosed trailer


This rig would make an excellent "starter" package for a beginning late model racer OR a good backup for an experienced racer. The chassis was set up for 2800 lbs with 56% left side. IF you would desire parts or all of the race car I would consider serious. However, I was in the process of reassembly at the time of my illness and the buyer would have opportunity to fab the chassis in any form desired.

You want the entire car? 15 wide 5s, body panels, shocks, springs, 420 HP engine with 350 CFM,headers, bring me $7500. The links above only show a part of what I accumulated. Consider $10,000 of extras. You are paying 10c on the dollar.

This is one month and 5 days after hip replacement on Aug 31, 2015. Shoulder surgery then Jan. 7, 2016. Expect full recovery, as much as possible by March 2017. This is an excellent buy on this equipment and when I started racing I wished I could have found this deal. I have 22 wide five wheels for this chassis and a nearly complete body. Well worth your time if you are truly interested in LLM racing.
