I have an Autoresearch Formula Super Vee, plus a spare tub/chassis, and literally a trailer full of spare parts including suspension, wheels, wings, engine blocks, heads, drilled cranks, cams, springs, uprights, rotors, shocks, etc. There are boxes on top of boxes. The car was raced by Stan Fox in the Bosch Pro Series as the factory backed team car in the early 1980's. Later raced as a Formula Atlantic. Nose and tail bumped and bruised last time out in the late 1990's and parked in a guy's basement and disassembled. Stuck back together to roll into a trailer with the tons of spares (including some 12 mounted Speedline wheels). A prior owner bought out the Autoresearch factory when it closed and got all the spares - most of which seem to be in the trailer. Engine appears to be a 1600 c.c. engine with 42 Webers, and a Hewland Mk.9 gearbox and Tilton clutch. I know nothing about the condition of either except I was told the engine was rebuilt (aren't they all?). The engine was on a stand in the trailer, and is clean with clean gaskets on it, so maybe it was rebuilt, but I'm guessing years ago. So assume the worst and hope for the best. It does turn over. There seem to be a number of used pistons mounted on Carrillo rods in the piles and boxes of stuff too.
This is a major project, but it is a cool car and a great story. David Bruns designed and raced these cars (and did well with them). Don Edmunds built them in So.Cal. Dave McMillan finished 5th in the Bosch Pro Series Championship with the sister car, against Andretti, Unser, Luyendyk, and many other up and comers. I'm hoping someone will take it under their wing and finish putting it back together. I don't have enough time to do it now, and the spares are so many, I've had to park other cars outside just to make room for the Super Vee, the spare chassis, and all the parts. If you have more and time than money, this would be a great project.
Don Edmunds is still around is happy to help out. Mike Alfred, owned this car, and several other of the total of 7 Autoresearch Super Vees as part of a multi-car team that won the Northern Pacific SCCA Formula Atlantic Championship. He is also a great source of knowledge and real helpful.
I just listed the car on our local San Francisco Bay Area Craigslist. Just do a search for Autoresarch Super Vee and you can see lots of pictures. Everything goes for $8,500.00
