zr240 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Hi all My old man just purchased some racecars and one is a JWS Chev Historic sportscar. It weighs about 750kg and has around 500hp. He said today that when we finish it (in the next 12mths) I will be first to get a drive :0 Safe to say Im a bit excited about it It still needs quite a bit of work but cannot wait to get started on it!! ash Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted October 23, 2009 Moderators Posted October 23, 2009 Where does your dad find the time? Dying too see it in the raw! Should sound awsome! With that mechanical injection, I assume it has 8 huge trumpets sticking out top of the motor? Need more pics! hehehe Quote
PZG302 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Ash, if you need help in finding out its history I have a good friend in Tassie who would be able to help. he was involeved with a JWS in the 80's, in fact jot him into a lot of trouble when he set a speed record on the F4 west of Sydney with it Quote
bluerat Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Magic, now thats a real race car!! Sportscars really are the go. There's a couple down here that have just been restored or are in the proccess. You will feel like walking beside the Zed after driving this Ash!! When was it raced Ash, I'd love to look it up in my yearbooks? Quote
zr240 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Lurch it was on My105 and I found it and told Dad and he just rang and brought it! It turns out he has actually brought two cars the one pictured and also an earlier open top one. They raced in 80-84 I think and there are a few pics of these cars in the motorsport yearbook. ash Quote
C.A.R. Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Oh THAT one! It's actually a Kaditcha, but was then converted to a JWS (so the ad said). My old man was eyeing it off too, but the amount of parts required to rebuild it & the 33k asking price was a bit of a turn-off... Quote
dat2kman Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Is that Ran as in Ranald, and ash as in his son Ashley? If so then Tommy is Rans brother up here in Qld, and Suzie at Murwillumbah,and Ran and Tom know me, and my mob? Congrats on the JWS buy! I just picked up a Group U elegible RX7 sports sedan. If Ran happens to wandering around the pits at Sandown for the Hysterics on Nov. 6/7/8 ask him to look out for a dark blue Datsun Z, No 23 It'll be me, Jason L Sorry I won't have any PRODUCT with me to give out, it all melts too quickly!

C.A.R. Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Dang! I was hopeing for some samples I've managed to get 2 weekend passes for Sandown so I'll definetly saying hello, Jason. Oh & it is a small world - my dad used to race with Ranald back in the early/mid 70's in the old Grp. D days... Quote
