THIS ORIGINAL 1956 OVAL WINDOW BEETLE VINTAGE RACER IS AN ALFA, PORSCHES AND MUSTANG EATER
IT IS POWERED BY A HIGHLY MODIFIED AND SOPHISTICATED TYPE 3 VW ENGINE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 192 HP AT 7,200 RPM WITH 2 40mm WEBER CARBURETORS, AND CAN PRODUCE 220HP IF 48mm WEBER IDA CARBURETORS ARE INSTALLED.
IT USES THE SAME MOTEC ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT THE VIPERS USED WHEN THEY WON AT THE 24 HOURS OF DAYTONA
IT HAS BBS RACING 3 PIECE WHEELS WITH PORSCHE BRAKES IN THE FOUR CORNERS (914-6 @ THE REAR)
THE CAR COMES WITH TWO TRANSMISSIONS:
ONE SPECIAL CLOSE GEARS 4 SPD AND A HEWLAND 5 SPD, BOTH WITH POSI-TRACTION, A QUICK FILL FUEL CELL
THIS VERY SAME CAR IS THE 1978 TRANS-AM CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING CAR IN MEXICO BUILT AND DRIVEN BY PANCHO MENDOZA
THE ENGINE HAS ONLY ONE RACE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS.
PRIOR TO DELIVERY, I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE ALL THE FLUIDS, SERVICE THE CALIPERS, REMOVE GAS TANK AND FLUSH LINE AND INSTALL A NEW BATTERY
