I am selling my beloved 550 Replica. This is a Perry kit and uses a dyno tuned 1776 engine with dual webber 40s. All tin and exhaust is either ceramic coated or chromed. The tube framework in the engine compartment and passenger compartment is either ceramic coated (roll bar) or silver powder coated. All 4 corner suspensions use adjustable coil-over shocks, the front torsion suspension is also adjustable. I installed oversized front and rear anti-sway bars to keep is flat in the turns ... they work great! The dash contains a speedo, tach, and fuel gauge for the driver and an oil temp, oil pressure, and amp meter in front of the passenger. I installed Sparko reclining "racing" seats with a 4 point belt harness. It has an "european" air horn that fits the cars looks. I built a shut off valve into the bottom of the fuel tank to kill fuel flow and an electronic shut off on the battery, too. There is a fuel gauge next to the regulator feeding the fuel to the carburators. The fuel and oil lines are stainless braided. All oils are synthetic. The clutch is a "stage 2" type. There are 2 gas springs that open the rear hatch. If engine work is required, the rear hatch can easily be removed by unpluging the wire harness, disengaging the gas springs, and pull 2 pins. You will need a friend or cherry picker to help lift it off of the car. I have a number of additional things that will go with the car ... extra wheel and tire, extra parts, documentation, etc.
I painted the car yellow with blue racing stripes to create a look that I had never seen before.
The car is a bucket of fun! It is great to drive around in and you get looks everywhere you go. It is loud with the stinger exhaust, but that helps everyone know that you are coming. There is a storage area behind the seats that can easily store clothing, supplies, food/liquids, etc. for longer drives. The only thing up front is the fuel tank.
I am asking $18,000 for the car and all of the additional stuff. Only serious inquires, please. I will be listing the car on eBay in the next few days if I don't get any interest from the list here.
Thank you,
Sean
