The ultimate Autocross car!!! It weighs only 1400 pounds!

Built for the TV show “Blow It Up” on SpeedTV, this 2007 Beck 550 Spyder started out as a stock silver-blue over red “Deluxe Pre-assembled Body Package”. DTM Engineering and Raby’s Aircooled Technology heavily modified it to meet the specs of the TV show… with a few extras that I wanted to "play" with.

(IMG:http://www.weblewitup.com/blowitup/filming/slides/DSC_0217.JPG)

This included a full SCCA legal road race cage, hydraulic pedals (brake, clutch, gas), custom quick release aluminum firewall, 4 wheel disc brakes, front line locks, AJ hydraulic speed shift, fuel cell, 5 point harness, racing bucket, Setrab dual fan pack, EFI, and MUCH more.

The car is in storage in Cleveland, GA. It is sitting in the exact same state as depicted in the “Blow It Up” show, it has only been repaired and more engine development done to it after the TV show experience. We also removed the complex oiling system that was used on the TV show, it was total overkill.

We are offering the car for immediate delivery for $32,000 OBO.

Alternatively, the car can be sold without engine and transaxle for a reduced cost.

There are a TON of photos of the car at the filming here:

This car has hundreds of hours in it's composition and features many items that are not typically included in a Spyder build. Here is a list of them:
*2.8Liter MassIVe Type 4 engine by Aircooled technology, runs on pump gas, or race gas.
*The car/ engine made 190 HP at 6,500 RPM at the Southeast Dyno Day in March 2008, 246HP at the Aircooled Tech Dyno (New cost for this engine is in excess of 25,000.00 indluding the following)
*LN engineering "Nickies" 105mm cylinders and JE pistons
*Carrillo connecting rods
*Wedgemated DPR 80mm stroke crank

*Full SCCA legal Chromoly roll cage with door bars. (the upper portion of this could be removed if the buyer wanted to enhance looks.
There is so much more I can't even begin to list it all.

This is an ungodly fast car that could be drag raced, or autocrossed competetively- we just don't have time to campaign the car.
