This is an SCCA/ICSCC/NASA legal race car built and campaigned on the West Coast in GT. Super Production. Production. Radial Sedan and is now Vintage legal in the NW. This was never a street car - the chassis was a VW factory chassis shipped to be built as an ice racing car. This means there is no undercoating. no insulation. etc. (low weight). This car holds over sixchampionships and several track records in several different configurations. Lots of NW racing credentials and history. Raced at Portland. Seattle. Westwood. Sears Point. Thunderhill. others. If you want to own the fastest VW Golf on the West Coast - this is probably it. Car weighs approx 1800lbs. The engine is a Ivey Engines (Portland.

No major wrecks on track - driver door was hit once and driver's left rear corner was creased once - all repaired. Engine needs a complete refresh - not driven for over 8 years. The car was running when it last went into the trailer. There is a freeze plug out - thought it was completely drained but apparently not. My guess is the plug did its job but you'd want to magnaflux the block upon refresh. Car comes with 9 rims (we lost one because of a loose lug nut). spare transmission (fresh) and a variety of engine components including a spare head that could be built/sold. There's more to talk about and show but you'd have to come see it all. Call Greg - 503-957-7086 SERIOUS inquiries only. please. There's well over $35K worth of stuff (the engine was $8. 00 alone when I bought it in parts before the race build) here and hundreds of hours of work. It's a fair price for a cool car that will need some care and feeding and a lot of fun and history. We're retiring and moving on to new things. so it's time to let it go.
