Description of 1957 Lotus Super Seven

Titled as a 1957 Lotus Roadster, this Diva started out as a kit in 1992, was first completed in 1997, then was completely upgraded again in 2018, with 600 miles since the rebuild. Odometer showing around 16K on the body. Has 350 SBC built by "Blue Print Engines" dyno'd @ 385 hp, with 409 ft lbs torque. GM T5, 5 sp manual trans w/Hurst shifter, Ram Clutch w/Steel shatter proof bell housing, 8.8 Ford locker rear with Moroso racing axles, 4 link setup w/panhard bar, Corvette calipers, Wilwood brakes, master cylinder and pedals. Autometer guages, everything top shelf and working properly. This is a street legal race car, wicked fast, and not for the faint of heart. Strap yourself in with the Simpson harness, attach the La Carra steering wheel and hang on. (For safety, there is a fire extinguisher system, that can be activated if you do decide to race this car. It will spray pressurized water propelled via explosion proof Nitrogen gas, on the driver and engine, IF you would happen to roll this car over.) This is a serious licensed insured street car, or bonified racecar. It comes with three sets of tires and wheels, one strickly for racing. This is a very comfortable sitting car, it feels built around you. I am 5'11" and I can barely get the clutch pedal all the way down. The seat does not slide, its bolted firm for racing, it can be unbolted and moved forward for shorter drivers. It will easily fit a 6' plus driver as is. Research shows 15 of this very unique "Cobra rear end" style Lotus' built. Ten roadsters, 5 coupes. Here's a chance to own a very unique rare pieceof automobile memorabilia, and have the most fun driving experience you will probably ever have. Never wrecked. Never raced. This Excellent condition sports car is near perfect in every way. No surprises, no issues at all. The car comes with the factory front fenders, I have them off for a cleaner look. (See pictures) They are excellent and take about a 1/2 hour each to re attach. Car is located in Oregon. Delivery possible. $45,000.00 Cash or interesting trades. I like 60's muscle, 66 67 Novas, C1 C2 vettes ect. Clear Oregon title. Car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end auction early if sold. QUESTIONS? Call FIRST before hitting Buy It Now!
