    Here's some info and pictures on an old Sprintcar that my mate found in a barn some years ago.

    The car was built in 1976 by Joe McQuarter in Whangarei using CAE plans (Jim Culbert Automotive Engineering USA).
    It was one of several (6?) CAE Sprintcars in NZ around the early seventies.
    Other CAE cars were owned by Willie Kay, Gary Murch, Bob Fulman.
    The car runs a worked 283 Chev and puts out approx 400Hp. It uses a forklift radiator.


    My mate Nathan holding one of the original wings.

    This info came with the car.

    The photos of 7A were probably taken around 1996 when Warren Wilson was with HISCONZ. The second pic of 7A the guy with the cap is Warren Wilson who owned the car at the time.

    This photo was taken at the Kumeu Hot Rod Festival some years ago in the days Warren Wilson was considering the formation of a vintage club dedicated to early modifieds and sprintcars.

    I took this photo at Harrisville in 2012 of the restored car. I'm sorry I can't remember the owners name but he was a nice chap, from Hawkes Bay I think.. might be wrong.

    They built this Camaro that raced out of Palmerston North. This is the same car raced a little while later by Ian Easton. The article said the Camaro started life as a 1972 Z28 that had been rolled. The magazine is from 1973, so the Camaro must have been wrecked almost straight off the showroom floor! The article says it had just 13,000 miles on it. There can't have been many new Camaros in NZ at the time, so this must have made news.

    I'd love to see the article on Ian Taylor and the Camaro that Jac Jac eventually drove in the magazine for research toward an upcoming video interview project I'm doing Steve, I've got several magazine's but not this one.

    Here are a few of the magazines that I do have:

    I went to a Harrisville Classic Speedway Club day today and took this picture of an old Sprintcar that came from California without an engine and now runs a Hilborn Injected Chev. Sounds great.

    This car was having its first run at Harrisville after being recently imported from USA.

    Western Springs 1938. I'm not sure if these cars were called 3/4 Midgets or Speedcars.
