Dan:
First glance I thought Smokey Yunick sidecar but that ain’t it…Formula Zero?…Lawn Mower Hall of FAME?…ice racer from Finland?…Dan Parke’s first car?…little brother of LeMonstre…a bad dream after too much spicy food?
All I know is it will be well done when finished…

A three cylinder? I am lost so I will guess F Saab. Is this a home made body with a kitbashed dash and seat?

Body is chopped and channeled Reynard. Engine is half a Tamiya 956 block.
More will be revealed. . .

Hoping to get more done over the weekend. Lawn and garden duties bumped mini car stuff down the list.
More clues.
The vehicle and engine are fictional, “phantoms” if you will.
But modeled on (see what I did there?) a genuine racing based initiative.

My guess is a formula SAE car, which is a student engineering competition where each university designs and builds their own car.

Tires, wheels are fronts from old Wheelhorse in MPC Lotus turbine kit. Intake system based on 2bbl. Carb from parts. Lots more to do. Rear suspension, great huge wings as seen on some UK formula student entries, markings, etc.   |

Impressive! Unusual subject with great execution…those wings are unreal! I’m guessing Citicorp wrote a $100 check for their sponsorship…🤣🤣🤣

Thank you all for your comments.
Tim, sponsorship details are a confidential matter within the teams.
Toto and Helmut would not like me to confirm or deny your speculation.
