OK so far we have chevron b 20 nose and wing/ wheels are 914/6 dan gurney wheels/ hubs and rotors that came with car appear to be 914 (not installed) found location for builder tag on left front of tub in front of gauge pod. rivits are there....... tag is gone. Main hoop and most of control arms are nickle plated . the inboard front shock mounting is very unique . Uprights may have been changed thru time possible rich lilly previous owner .

I recently picked up this tub Seller claimed it was formula vee / as far as he knew. I bought it with some spares and have started the process of trying to figure out what it really is . The confusing part to me is the monocoque chassis. I cannot find any formula v or super vee with this design . The main hoop and much of the suspension arms are nickel plated , the tub is buck riveted together/front inner mounted shocks are dated 1971 decarbon shocks/ rears are also decarbon/bilstien . there was a builder tag on front left side of tub but it is gone . I did uncover a scca brass tag with "73fsv02" under roll bar padding

The car was abandoned with 2 other cars in a garage and the house was auctioned . 30 years ago. I bought it from the son of the buyer at the auction. no information is available about the previous owner .

Open to ideas from the forum . thanks in advance more photos are available.

This solved the mystery the 1972 / 1973 Nickle fsv driven by Earl Nicewarmer #5 of East Hartford, Conn.




If anyone has any period photos it would be very helpful !
