In The Garage With EHR 1964 Formcar Formula Vee Racer First time running AND First test drive.

UPDATED: And now for something completely different. Will it run? We get my dad's 1964 Formcar Formula V race car fired up for the first time ever! The 1600 single port VW engine sounds pretty healthy. Then we take it for the first test drive. I immediately find a problem.... watch to see what it is. What is your solution? The Formcar company founder started the Formula V spec class to have an affordable entry level race car class that about anyone could get into. The bare chassis and body kits sold for $995 during their whole time in business. The idea was: buy their chassis and a clapped out Beetle and you could pirate almost everything you needed for the build off of the Bug. These cars are still very popular today as they created one of the most competitive classes of racing, they look like early Indy cars, and car reach speeds over 120mph.
