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.
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.
