Came across a Quasar DSR for sale and wanted to get the groups thoughts. See description below.
For Sale: 1970 Quasar D/Sports Racing
Era-correct vintage racing car. Red #14, monocoque tub, aluminum doors, tubular sub-frames front and back, fiberglass front and rear body sections, with car cover. Fully adjustable front and rear suspension. Four wheel Airheart disc brakes, dual cylinders with balance bar. Treaded Bluestreaks on Chassis Engineering aluminum wheels, plus rains on mag wheels. Ocelot-built 750cc Suzuki 2-stroke turns 9500 rpm easily, triple expansion chambers, three 28mm Mikuni carbs, spare alternate jets and needles, 3-coil Pertronix ignition, close-ratio 5-speed internal transmission with wet clutch, spare alternate-ratio drive sprockets. Jones tach with tell-tale. With two spare stock engines and other spares including suspension bits, chain, etc. Trailer included in price. Finished 2nd at 1976 SCCA Runoffs and was 1982 D/SR Council champ. Asking $19,500 or near reasonable offers.
I'm limited to regional racing (SCCA, NASA, PCA) so I figured this would be a good first DSR for me. Being a PCA member, the two seat set up works in my favor. But, I don't know the marque or engine except what's on Tom's chassis/engine pages. The current owner hasn't raced this car in a year due to family obligations. So I'm assuming it's basically race ready. My concern is upgrading to a modern engine and/or suspension. Good or bad idea? Vintage racing doesn't exist in my region of the country so going vintage racing is a no go.
Your thoughts, comments, and advice are welcome.
Thanks, Mitch
