$1600 Formula car - Omaha - NMNA

Somebody please get this thing off of craigslist before I do something stupid.

In this rare moment, the universe has one that's both in budget and close enough.    But I need to keep focused on my current project for the time being.

"Not for children"

5lug wheels says probably some year of Red Devil chassis.

I've been comparing it to some other Red Devil photos I've found,  and there's no doubt in my mind that's what it is.

If I didn't just send out my spare MR2 block/crank/head out to get done, I'd probably be on the way to Omaha right now.

I wonder what it would cost to ship that to Connecticut.

Non-running cars are a bit more, Omaha is further than Florida?

I don't know. I've never driven East-West before. But I'm still pretty tired, and I wouldn't want to do it in the Flex.

Hop on I-80 westbound in New Jersey.   Watch the toll booth just coming out of Chicago, it's a pain in the ass. 

The road goes all the way to Omaha.

It's 62 miles further away than the drive that I did last week. But that was fly 'n' drive. This would have to be a round trip. Nope.

I have a couple B6 engines that are known to love boost if anyone on here ended up getting this thing.

FWIW, when I sold my FormulaSAE and spares (engine and suspension), it went from WV to GA in crate 4'X3'X10' for a little over $400 via Fastenal.

I tried to contact seller, No luck?
