Bobsy Sports Racer - Chassis #14
This car is now for sale after a rescue and complete restoration. The owner-builder is Tom Quaranto of Evergreen, Colorado. Here's the background and pictures of the restoration:
Having been involved in various forms of Motorsport for the past 40 years, I decided in 2015 to purchase a vintage race car. I purchased a 1973 Bobsy SR-6 sports racer, chassis #18. These cars while not well known they are well respected in the vintage community. The SR-6 models utilized a semi- monocoque chassis and inboard rear shocks with push rod activation. This was advanced stuff in 1973! When I purchased my car, (chassis #18) it came with an extensive “spares” package. These "parts" included this mostly complete but unrestored chassis #14, a complete NOS never-been-mounted body, and a 1600cc pushrod motor in bad need of a rebuild. CLICK HERE for the Bobsy Registry which documents the current and historical ownership the Bobsy Sports Racers as well the complete history of Bobsy marque.
In 2020 I decided to disassemble #14 and restore it to usable condition. Being a qualified mechanic/fabricator this turned into a two year build project resulting in the complete, documented B sports racer you now see here. While I thoroughly enjoyed this project I only need one race car, and chassis #18 is the one, although I most likely will restore it in 2022.
