Bye, Bye Mustang

The 69 Mustang fastack is sold. The owner George Komaretho switched to a Ford RS2000 for rest of season. I m a little bit sad about it, we raced the car for two seasons with success. 90% of the races were finished. Walter K. and me were responsible for concept and building. The car wasnt built strictly for winning more for reliability and as a TransAm clone of the famous George Follmer car.
2004 3rd place overall Per.G over 2500ccm
2005 3rd place overall Per.G over 2500ccm
2006 1st place overall Per.G over 3000ccm after 2 races

Be aware maybe there will be a worthy successor next year!

Ebay Gurney Eagle auction

Agent Orange

My friend and long time dragace companion Mexx thinks about selling his awfully fast Karmann Ghia Convertible to be in favor of building a tube chassis Karmann. Featured in various magazines and articles this is obvisiously one of if not the fastest Type 1 engined Street Karmann Ghia Convertible in Europe. Top restored and modified with uncountable hours of machining and labor. Car runs high 13's with long streetgearing (150mph topspeed) and low 11's with slicks on nitrous. Car is built with lot of Porsche parts (5sp.tranny, drive axles, cooling), lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber parts, big brakes, datalogging and various uncountable details (i.e. carbon throttle blades). Engine is a fuelinjected 2.6litres Type1 with about 250hp naturally aspirated and about 400hp on nitrous. Asking prize is 30k € obo which reflects about 50% of investment.

The 455ci water tank

The Olds 455 engine project is stopped. After partly disassembling the sticking engine it appears that most of the engine parts were in a condition beyond of rebuilding. The engine was stored outdoor and we drained about one and a half gallons of water. All the parts inside heavily rusted, major engine failure at cylinder number one, bent pushrods and valves, cylinder wall completely broken down to its base. Way to much risk to repair the block with sleeves, other parts maybe reusable after further inspection. Sorry for the owner there are not much 70's Toronado engines around today.
