There was a video of Mike Jackson and Bill Thummel racing at Mid Ohio posted here earlier in the year. Bill won the race on Sat but Mike took it on Sunday. It has a ready to assemble engine and a non-overdrive gearbox, with stock TR3 rear end. It has 5 good panasport wheels. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Abacus took a clean no rust street car and converted it for vintage racing in 1991. The SVRA logbook shows 28 races from 1991 to 1997. Abacus then took the engine and gearbox for their TR4. The car sat in a dry garage until I purchased it last year. I intended to make a race car for my son in law and my grandson, or even turn it back to a streetcar. I have since found some Turners that I think will be better for them, and the TR3 is now available with parts. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I purchased a ready to assemble engine from Dave Spiwak and that will go with the car for what I paid Dave (list attached)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> It comes with a very nice sandblasted and painted TR3 frame. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> It has a New Mexico title. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> The car looks solid, and has a heavy sway bar in the front. All instruments are there, including an overdrive button on the steering wheel. There is a small dent in the left rear fender which looks like it can be banged out. I have a fiberglass tunnel. The roll bar includes door impact protection. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Abacus was very successful with the car. More info and photos available.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Roller and frame for $5500. Engine ready to assemble $5000 (pls see attachment – I paid $5K, Dave spent $7721), and the additional below parts I purchased from Dave ($535):<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fidanza flywheel $200<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tilton clutch $150<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Starter $70<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Auto Pro Rev Limiter $15<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Detroit Locker $100<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I was quoted $1000 to $1500 for engine assembly by Abacus Machine shop. Car needs a fuel cell, tires, brake rebuild, and normal stuff done after a car has been sitting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Car and frame are in Va Bch, engine parts are still in PA and I will pick up or have shipped as soon as Dave can get home. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> So everything totals $11,350. I prefer it all to go together. Anyone interested?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Thanks, Hank<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hank Giffin<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>757-375-1491<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
