I am looking into acquiring a 360 Challenge to be used in ICSCC racing as well as track days. Any info on known listings or what to look out for , please let me know. Thank you! Mike
Mkae sure you get a full set of previous work sheets outlining when the last belt replacement was done. Without that assume you will have to do the belts immediately. Do not take a verbal on this issue. Unlike the anal road car owners who are anxious to prove that they can look after their 360 better than the next guy, the Challenge cars were driven in anger all the time and without a record of issues, race damage and repair methods, you need to assume its just an old race car and its strictly as-is-where-is. Also assume you will not get it into a regular trailer without substantial architecture around the ramp. I think I recall that the slope must not rise more than 3" in 34" or else the front spoiler will encounter the ramp with damage ++. If you plan to race the car check that the cage complies with sanctioning body standards. Generally the FIA cages did not meet SCCA or Grand Am specs without a substantial documentation process which few have attempted. Check also belt and seat age which will also make it ineligible for most sanctioning body approvals. You need two sets of wheels to make it a usebale track car. 'Bout all I can think of right now.
Thank you for those comments. After some further thoughts I have now am looking at a 430GT. It appears they have come down in price as well ,and the 430 has lessen the belt issue. So, I am now looking for any leads in locating a good 430 Challenge.
If anyone has any web links perhaps they can post them. I am sure there a few websites dedicated to race cars for sale.
Www.Race-cars.com Also ferrarichat.com had some for sale. Your welcome rob lay. Also try ferrarimaketletter.com Try martin at cavallinomotors.com. He can find you one and set it up.
Thank you for some of the links. There does seem to be more of a selection in Europe, and the prices seem competitive ( with shipping Stateside added in) Mike
