    I can see your hoo-ha.

      Regardless, if you can buy the pair for under a grand, you should probably jump on it. Anything you buy is gonna need some parts.

            EXACTLY what I was thinking.

              Would that really be a good Lemons candidate?

              Seems like it would be way too heavy, way too underpowered, and brakes/suspension parts would be nearly impossible to find and expensive when you do.

              Just curious...

                with a 302 in it, you might be loosing some dependability, but you gain some parts availability. Brakes are disk, so get a custom set of pads from Carbotech and try to avoid burning them the hell up. Handling isnt great, but you can lower it down some and make it work. Class C, and IOE candidate. You win both and make more than the winner on laps.

                  Yeah, but you could just knock the competition off the track.

                      I'd offer $800 for both. It looks like they've been sitting there a long LONG time. Then at the very least you'd have enough parts to get a project started.
                      They have been there for a long time. Atleast two years on the red one, the blue one has been there a year or so.

                          ohh ok i gotcha, i just had never heard it called a swing arm, but it makes sense now. a friend and I built this one..





                          still not sure why we bagged it vs. a static drop, but oh well wasnt my shit..
