With the recent discussion on the Quantum this sports racer appeared on craigslist at an appropriate time. Actually he had just listed the Monte Carlo engine and that is what I called on. Sound like some chassis parts may be missing. Seattle area. FYI

Dan,


Thanks for your call on Wednesday. I se the Quantum Formula S on Bring A Trailer - neat piece. I uploaded some photos from when I purchased the Bobsy to - http://adamsgarage.com/bobsy. More info on the Bobsy is available at: http://www.bobsyregistry.com/

I'm into the Bobsy parts for about $2750 and think that's a pretty good number for me - if someone wanted to take it over...

I saw that Bobsy on Ebay a month or so ago and was very tempted.

It is more than "some chassis parts" missing. It has NO chassis.
Essentially, it is a few spare Bobsy parts. There is no car there. There
isn't even a chassis number plate to say you "started" with.

To make a Bobsy out of that would require a very skilled fabricator and a
whole car to copy. Keep in mind, these cars had an ALUMINUM tube frame. So
it takes more than a shadetree and a Craftsman toolbox to build one.

I think the key word is "easily".. Anything is possible with enough time and commitment..

Easily? No.

Honestly, the fiberglass body will be worth the asking price 30 seconds
after someone has a big "off" in their Bobsy SR2. The same goes for the
rest of the parts. But these are not starting points for a car in most
people's reality.

Bobsy's are VERY collectible and bring good money. If you were to build
"something" with this body, you are likely to find someone wanting to
purchase your body off of your something one day.
