To save sorting time: go to shots 816, 819 - 820 at that jww site.

Thanks for the detective work, Bill. I was not aware of the driver Mike Richards. The car has spent time in the Annapolis, MD area. (NAVY connection)

There was a tech sticker from BAY PARK RACEWAY dated April 12, 1990; so it was in NZ until then.

Cross-checking the dates on http://www.virhistory.com; you are spot on. Entry lists (April Nationals) Templeton 1967 Bobsy; 1968 Not listed; 1969 "Homemade" but labeled Ringwraith in caption of Nick England photos; 1970 Shadowfax Several pics on the VIR site, and links to the video. Verrrr...

Stumbled onto this video from VIR on youtube. If you havent seen it, better than most. Clear, color footage of the FV race 1967-68.

Watched the VRG races at NJ this Saturday. Lots of track time. (compared to SCCA Regionals there) FV was placed with Group 5, under 1.3L production cars and pre-1960 Fjrs. Of the field of 26 cars, seven were open wheel, three FV ran mid-pack. Car has been sold Gary, VICTORACING D13 fine 2 Nov. 2011

Todd,

Maybe you could post some photos of your car, and point out what changes were made.

If he's interested in "factory" body, I have a (5) five-piece D13 body in good shape, for sale.

Info at vees for sale, D13 / VRG thread.

I've emailed Chuck on this already, but if anyone else is following this thread and can add conclusive info, please chime in here or my PM "Victoracing" There is an old post Jan. 4, 2009 thru Apr. 15, 2009 below "What make vee is this?" It might help Chuck and 1969 Zeitler (AD fr...

Bump 28 June 09

Limited fabrication skills and tools, . . I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Anyone have a wreck they would cut the footbox out of?

Thanks for looking, Gary, NJ

Rebuilding a frame, Locost kit-car style, and need a pedal box as used on vees.
Prefer pedals hung, and box drilled for three master cylinders.

Thanks!

Thanks, Gary

Your photos have helped me with suspension detail. (see What make vee is this? Jan 2009 )

I'm also curious about the museum you mention. Is it the Simeon in Phila?
I'd like to see the AD when it is stripped and apart.

Thanks, Gary, South NJ . . 21 March 09

New clue to identify tail mould. . . . . Under Autodynamics listing in the Pace/Brinker book "Vintage Amer Road Racing Cars 1950-1970" I found a description that "D-1 had a longer, narrow tail than the later cars." Any D-1 (Mk. 1, I presume) owners confirm this, or have photos th...

Thanks to all who have replied this week. Given the AD lead, I've looked at every photo of AD cars posted and see many similarities, yet the two big differences, which may be explained by the frame being an unfinished replacement or clone of original. 1) Trapezoid dash hoop, rather than round shaped...

I would like to identify the make and year of this car. Frame is 1" square tubing throughout except the rear upper shock support that is 1 1/2" removeable. Trailing arms mount on 11/16" solid rod tripod outriggers. Never finished? as no evidence of rollbars or floorpan. Body has cockp...
