I kinda fell into it as I was buying spares for my current car and thought this would a handy backup chassis for my current car. I saw those ads too and thought it had a engine plate for something other than a bike motor. The rf shock tower is gone and someone started putting a shifter, wing mount spuds, and other stuff in it. I just thought about throwing a junkyard focus motor or something in it so my dad could try his hand at driving a car now that he's retired and talking smack to me for fun..... Lol

A couple other guys thought they could get the job done so I let them have it. One of those guys works his butt off to do a memorial race every year with a great purse but other than that one race he isn't able to find enough funding to keep it going. The other guy booked monthly shows at a track we scheduled twice a year, planned on bringing enough sponsor money to pay well, lost the sponsorship and now has monthly midget races that pay about 50 bucks per car. A third guy worked really hard to get an ecotec/focus series running just across the MO/OK state line but he has run into basically the same brick walls that we all did. Too many back gate tracks with 6-8 fendered classes weekly in this part of the country that don't see any value in having a midget show no matter how many times we packed grandstands for them. Too many options for the hobby racers to be able to consistently get decent car counts to our shows. We had 3 really good years and a couple of decent years but the stars aligned against us so I cut bait before it gave me a heart attack.

As far as figuring out the lineage of the car you bought, give me some info about it and I can more than likely tell you some history on it.

I found this after I pm’d about it earlier.
