Description:

1973 Chevron B24 F5000. One of ten. The 1973 F5000 European Championship-winning car (Team VDS/Teddy Pilette). Huge history. Currently vintage raced with many wins, and usually the best lap times of the event. Professionally prepared and documented: Build sheets, Crack test certificates and films, Dyno sheets, original blueprints, photos and receipts. All new, Kinsler-injected, aluminum-head, Carillo-rod 5.0 liter V-8 with all the latest technology, including ceramics. Everything new or painstakingly restored including, but not limited to, new DG 300 with triple disk clutch, custom Koni shocks, five stage dry sump system, suspension, wiring and fuel cells. New paint: all else polished or plated. Too much to list, with absolutely no expense spared (approx. $500k). Extra wheels and tires, including rains. Extensive spares, setup equipment and race supplies, as well as books and other historical information (including e-mails with the original driver (Pilette)). Top level Formula 1 standards and preparation, with better performance than a period F1 or Can Am car, for far less than half the cost of similar (or lesser) performance. If you want the best, this is it—this is the fastest, best-prepared, most driver-friendly F5000 in the U.S. A serious car for the serious driver or collector.
