This was being built by Speedware Motorsports for the last couple of years, they've closed the doors on the business (or had the doors closed) and this lil sweetheart will be auctionioned off on April 4th. The auction house has it shoved in a corner with a crate of parts next to it...some of the parts are clearly for the car, others not so much.
It's a cool project with a lot of money thrown at it, still a ton to do obviously. Thought I'd pass it on.

It has some kind of IRS not sure if it's home brew or not.

I found some photos on another pro touring web site dating back to 09 so it's been around a bit. I forget the name of the IRS but it was a store bought set up, it also mentioned a G Force transmission? I'll be back in the area in the next few days and will see about getting more information.

They don't have anything listed yet but the auction house is James G Murphy in Kenmore.

That engine plate is thick enough to lift a Sherman Tank.

That there's flippin' sweet, Dan Basher! I don't think I've noticed anyone actually getting rear coilovers inside the wheels before--isn't that like post-perfect placement? Just clear coat that thing and go!

A lot of the Speedware stuff sold yesterday....helmets, seats, motors, tools, guns, blah blah blah. I'm a selfish bastard and didn't post until afterwards, I had my eye on a couple things and didn't want anymore competition. :D

The vehicles are lumped into the April 4th auction.

This built is sick!!! I remember it in speedware's old shop 15 years ago!!! I'll be surprised if it makes it to auction, I'm pretty sure it was a customers car... 😳

I didn't see you there Dan? Did you buy anything!? Prices seemed high...

I previewed but had to work the day of. My brother and dad were there for a bit but said the same thing about the prices...do you know what the small block ford went for?
