Help identifying this race car. Please Help!

[Jay Wolf]

i have purchase an old Formula Vee Race Car that I intend on restoring and having some fun with as well as showing it.

I am working on getting it certified and am collection information.

I need help finding more information about this car.

1. Contest/Event Documentation (registration sheet, contest results, any publication or program)

2. Photographic Documentation (A photograph of the car during the time it was race)

3. Ownership Documentation A statement from the owner/owners stating this is the frame or chassis used to race over 25 years ago.

The car has several Midwestern Council stickers on it so I think that is where it raced or at least auto crossed in it's later life.

Please look at the car it looks to me like it has never been repainted so I hope you’ll recognize it. The car has a unique squared off roll bar.

I hope to fine a pictures of the car with it’s original 15 inch wheels. 60's 70's

Please send any information you have: former owners, where it race?, photos, anything.

Looks like it was set up to run Solo Vee with a tall driver. FM is an Autocross class...and the SCCA decal is that of early to mid 80's. The body does not look familiar to me...I'll send the pixs to one of my friends who is really good with Vee ID's. Has a bit of an Autodynamics feel...but the nose looks wrong and the pointy tail wouldn't be right either....might be a hacked/homebuilt, which is very common with Vees.

Shot of the chassis with the body off might help.

It has been solo race up till a few years ago, the car is made for a large driver. the gas tank fills the nose so I think it is the correct nose, and I see no signs of modification or welding on the frame except to added protection of the shifter linkage in the rear and they never painted it just ground the frame and welded it on.

it looks like a kit of some kind to me as all the frame non- VW parts are painted white and all the VW stuff is black or original paint.

The driver sets very upright and no engine scoops or spoilers so I am thinking it is a very early Fromula Vee. I guy I got it from took off the 15 inch wheels and put the wide 13's in it for solo. it will look a lot different with narrow 15's on it.

I found a photo of 1963 Formula Vee that was very similar except the roll bar was narrower and less square and the engine cover was rounded.

If I ever get a break from this weather I'll get it out of the trailer and in to the garage and get so chassis shots and post them. Just got it out of the barn and home Sunday evening in the rain and rain and snow ever since and I have to do a couple car shuffle to get it and the trailer where they belong and I don't want to do that in the rain.

I posted on the Midwestern Counsel web forum and I am hoping to here something there.

I looked thought there archive and lots of Formula Vee shots but no photos showing a car with the square roll bar. I did find a number 123 registered in some races in there vintage paper work from some race in 68.
