*For Sale
Mercury Outboard Special -- project car partly finished
*
One-off 1965 Canadian Sports Racer, built and raced by Vince Murray. 
This is the 4 cyl. sister car to the Polivka 6 cyl. Outboard Special.
This is your chance to own one of the oddest, neatest, most distinctive 
tiny perfect vintage race cars ever built... a 600lb. Sports Racer 
powered by a 1000cc. Mercury 650 Panther two-stroke with a centrifugal 
clutch and sequential shift via a Triumph motorcycle gearbox. Odd? You bet!
Chassis, electrics, plumbing, upholstery, front suspension and many 
other details are finished.

Comes complete with a set of brand new, never used, Dunlop Racing Tires 
mounted on a set of brand-new wheels -- two new sets of wheels (8) are 
included.... and moulds for the body. Lots of photos of the original car 
included.
What's needed to finish? I have a list I'll supply
The price to own one of the most unique cars around? $6000.00 CDN OBO
Finished and ready to race it's cheaper than a Sprite...and MUCH faster. 
*The Panther as a stock motor is 65hp...that's 100lbs per hp
