Dave Butler tube chassis drag car project for sale.
Located at Reedy Creek on Gold Coast.
This is a race car, never to be used on the street.
Car is not mobile so , pick-up only.

Reason for sale: need space, time, and money for food.

Price is $3500 and is an unfinished project requiring access to fabrication skills for completion.

I crashed this car in Nov 2002 and all the damaged parts of the car have been removed.
Main structure is in excellent shape.

Requires mounting of front suspension and pedal assembly.

Recent rules clarification mean the rear roll cage bars will need to be increased in size.

Rear suspension, inside mounting points are currently only tacked in position, and will need accurate positioning and final welding.

The main shell is still original steel, and has some moisture bubbles in the paint. Otherwise its tip-top.
