After two years of work, I've decided to move onto a different project with this one just a bit shy of the finish line. Here's your chance to build a Locost with a lot less time and effort required than if you'd started from scratch. Even better, this one already has a title and can be licensed immediately.
Chassis-Custom (not to a standard Locost plan) with a front mid-engine setup.
-Chassis is steel throughout, mostly TIG welded.
-All suspension arms are custom TIG welded with rod ends at all pivot points.
-Independent rear end from a Datsun 510.
-Front end modelled on Triumph Spitfire with Spitfire uprights.
-Koni adjustable racing shocks with coil-over kits and HyperCoil springs at all four corners.
-Wilwood brakes all around with dual master cylinders and adjustable brake bias.
- 17" Konig wheels and tires
Engine-The engine is a strong Mazda 12A with 45 DCOE Weber carb and a performance intake. I haven't dynoed it but am told it should be good for 150-160 hp.
- Custom header and exhaust
- 5-speed Mazda gearbox
Other- Autometer ProComp gauges throughout
- Fuel cell
- Braided brake lines
- Kirkey driver's seat
- Dual remote master cylinders
- Carbon fiber dashboard
- Already has a Missouri VIN number and Ohio title
What's it need?If you look closely at the photos you'll see that not all of the wiring is connected. However, it all HAS BEEN connected and everything was working before I disassembed the entire car to paint the frame. All the wires are marked, most are currently connected, but there may be a little work left there. It needs a battery.
I'm sure there are a few small items here or there I'm not thinking of but the bulk of the work required to finish this car is the bodywork which, in the grand scheme of things, is the easiest part of the whole deal.
Price: A steal at $3,200. I'm willing to deliver the car within a reasonable distance of Columbus, Ohio. Please feel free to write or call with questions. Scott Good
