Because of our ever increasing presence in the world of road racing, we are frequently asked to sell cars for our clients.  Even in the challenging times of '08 and '09 we have successfully completed the sale of several cars.  Some of them are shown below along with others still available and those newly listed.  Our sales service is easy, effective and inexpensive.  Here is how it works.

What is our Listing Service?

We offer a race car sales service which is designed to provide the level of service which you deserve, plus essential peace of mind when letting your vehicle out of your sight.

     Your car will be sold through Metcalf Racing and thus carry our 'stamp of approval'.

    We will handle all aspects of making the car beautiful, presentable and desirable.

     Your vehicle has access to our extensive database of people looking for collector cars,        vintage racing cars and current competition cars.

   The minimum selling price will be agreed in writing between you and us before any marketing is commenced.

     Term of sale contract is 3 months.  In the event your car is not sold, you have the choice of collecting your vehicle, relisting it with us or talking to us about our storage terms.

    Peace of mind is offered knowing Metcalf Racing will do everything to sell your car without the worry of hidden costs popping up to surprise you.  Any costs associated with special advertising avenues will be discussed at the beginning of the term.

    Cars are fully insured and protected while in stock with Metcalf Racing. 

How It Works

Metcalf Racing inspects your vehicle.

When we have completed an Inspection Report and know the full picture on your car, a selling price and listing fee will be confirmed. If you wish to proceed, both you and Metcalf Racing sign the agreement.  You agree not to promote the car by any other means while listed with Metcalf Racing.

The sales figure is the bottom line back to you when we find a buyer for the car.  The fee to Metcalf Racing will be either a set figure or a percentage of the sales price agreed on at the time listing is arranged.

The car can be left with Metcalf Racing while for sale or arrangements can be made for us to find buyers for your car while it is in your possession. 

No work will be carried out on the car unless you agree in writing.

The term of a listing period is usually a 90 days.  Other periods can be arranged.

While the car is on the Metcalf Racing premesis it is fully insured.

The car will not be released until Metcalf Racing has full payment in cleared funds.

When the car is sold, you will receive the agreed sales figure in the form of a check or by bank transfer, whichever you prefer.

Simple and very effective!

Here are the vehicles we currently have available.

This is one of two identical Marches used by Michael Andretti during the 1987 CART season when he drove for the Kraco team from Los Angeles.  He won four races that year and finished second in the championship.  Records have been lost but we believe this is the car in which he won Miami and Nazareth, his home track.    The year after its only season of competition, Kraco changed their paint scheme just slightly and repainted the car. Whether the car was used as a spare in the '88 season or as a show car, we are not sure.  Whatever the reason, they did not strip this one to save the expensive bits like the engine.  It is complete and functional in every way.  We purchased this car directly from Kraco where it was their centerpiece display of their trophy room.  Of all their cars, this is the one in which they felt the most pride.

After we received the car, we went through it to check condition.  Any car, after sitting unused for so long, will need to have the hydraulic systems rebuilt.  We did this and the brake and clutch systems are now ready to go.  We also pulled the undertray to examine it for scrapes and cracks and found none.  We examined the underside of the engine while it was off and it is clean and error free.  We then opened the fuel cell to check for debris.  It was clean as was the fuel pump and everything in the fuel system.  We even pulled the cam covers to ensure there were no problems lurking in the top of the Cosworth DFX.  The car is perfect.  The one thing we feel which should be done before returning the car to the track, though, is to freshen the engine.  Like hydraulics, high RPM engines do not like to sit for long periods of time without being turned over.  Piston rings and valve springs tend to go away.  For that reason, we feel it would be best to have that work done before racing the car and have spoken to VDS Engines in Indianapolis about doing it.  They have estimated about $20,000 for the job.

You will find other similar Indy cars available for sale.  We have found an 86C March in Kraco colors (less engine) which was used prior to Andretti's "magic season".  We also have found a couple which were never Kraco cars but were painted in their famous color scheme.  This car is the real thing.  It comes with documentation from Kraco verifying its heritage.

This is a very historic Indy car that almost everyone knows.  I cannot count the times I have heard someone say something like, "I had a Hot Wheels model of it when I was a kid!".  Now that the recession is coming to an end, we feel the value Indy cars with pedigrees like this one will begin to rise.  Whether you want to put it on the track in the US or Euro BOSS series or just take pride in adding it to a collection, you will not find a better one anywhere in the world.  Please take a moment to examine the photos below.  Feel free to contact us for more information and detailed photos.  We can arrange shipping internationally.

Yes, we know this is not a race car.  It is such a unique piece of history, however, we could not resist listing it here.  This bike belonged to Robert Metcalf's father who passed away many years ago.  He bought it only slightly used in 1954.  It has been in the family ever since.

The Square 4 was the superbike of its era.  The engine is 1000cc in four vertical cylinders arranged in a square pattern using two crankshafts geared together which drive into a separate four speed gearbox.  The only similar engine configuration of which we are aware was the BRM H-16 Formula One engine of the 60s which laid two flat eights on top of each other.  The Square 4 was Ariel's top-of-the-line model.  They built many other bikes from the 20s well into the 50s with displacements ranging from 250ccs to 1 liter.  The Square 4 was widely regarded at the time to be faster than almost all other bikes including Triumph, Norton, Indian, BSA and Harley-Davidson.  Robert's father used to brag that Square 4s would do a quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 105 mph.  Not impressive by today's standards but quite a feat for 60 years ago!

Ariel used many other innovative technologies for the time such as a dry sump lubrication system and rear struts containing shocks and springs in the same unit.  Innovation aside, it does use a Lucas distributor.  Google "Ariel Square 4" to learn more about these impressive motorcycles.

This bike is unrestored, as you can see, but in very good condition needing only the normal restoration of cleaning, repainting and replating to make it a truly exceptional vintage motorcycle.  The faded red paint is original.  The Smiths speedometer shows only 12,262 original miles.  For a reason now unknown, Robert's father removed the Amal carburetor shortly before he died and it was never found.  Another has been secured, though, and will soon be mounted on the engine.  It has a 6 volt electrical system and does not include the battery.  Otherwise, everything is there.  The engine has been turned over frequently while in storage and everything, including rings, properly lubricated.  In preparing the bike for sale, we have done a bit of research and discovered fully restored Square 4s to be going for around $25,000.  We have priced this one accordingly at $15,000 to leave plenty of room for the restoration.  It comes with a clear, original title, a few new restoration parts and photos from its early days.  Brand new sets of Snap-On British Standard wrenches and sockets are included for you to use in the restoration.

                                             

1967 SCCA Grand Prix  Championship winning
       Lotus 41C F/B

In 1967 Gus Hutchison drove this Lotus 41C to 4 wins of 5 races in SCCA's Grand Prix Championship which was the forerunner to the Continental Championship established the next year.  Gus dominated the pro series that year over drivers such as Lou Sell and Mike Hiss and took the overall championship against F1 cars with larger 3 liter racing engines.  This beautiful and historic car is now available.  Powered by the proper Lotus Twin Cam, it uses a Hewland FT-200 gearbox and has many items which make it a truly exceptional vintage Formula car. The engine was built by Jay Ivey and the gearbox was freshened, both in 2001.  Since then the car has been run only twice.  Upholstered seat and headrest, Koni double adjustable shocks, AN plumbing, the proper Smiths instruments, nickel-plated TIG-welded 4130 suspension, stainless steel mirror mounts.  This car has been professionally maintained and always received nothing but the best.  This Louts will be in good company with the best racing cars in the world at the Monterey Historics, the Walter Mitty or the Goodwood Revival.  It comes with many photos from its early years, complete documentation and even authentication from Gus Hutchison himself.  It is currently on display at the NTX Auto Museum in Dallas, Texas.

 

In the late 50's and throughout the 60's, Jerry Mong built Sports Racing cars in Ohio.  His cars were quite successful winning several SCCA national titles over the years in H Modified and later H Sports Racer.  This is a fine example of one of his cars.  An aluminum tube frame helped keep the cars light and a number of powerplants were used from DKWs to Lotus Twin Cams.  This car has a Datsun 1600cc engine installed with an aluminum head and twin Webers.  A Hewland MK-8 transaxle drives it.  The car is complete and ready to go although it has not run in some time and may need the usual minor maintenance items.  It will make someone a great car for vintage racing.


 

  

Here is a really nice Lotus 51B we believe to have been built in 1968.  It uses the Uprated Kent engine and Hewland MK-8 gearbox.  The engine was built by Jay Ivey and the gearbox by Craig Taylor, both in 2001.  The car has three race weekends on it since that time.  This car has had much attention to detail having Koni shocks, fuel cell, a stainless steel anti-reversion header,  new wishbones fabricated from 4130 and TIG welded, then nickel plated, AN brake lines, adjustable radius rods, a very nice upholstered seat, and numerous other small details.  Since restoration, it has had professional preparation and always received everything it needed.  This Formula Ford is beautiful in every way and gets a great deal of attention at each event.  Ready for SVRA, HSR, VARA, SOVREN or other vintage group.  The car is currently on display at the NTX Auto Museim in Dallas, TX.

1985 Kraco Prototype Indy Car
             One of a kind

Following the success of Jim Hall's Chaparral in 1980, other CART teams began building their own cars such as Penske and Rahal.  (The Rahal was tested but never raced.)  In 1985, Maury Kraines of Kraco had Don Haliday design and build this prototype which was to be called the Kraco KR-1 Indy Car.  The car was completed and tested with Cosworth DFX power and, so the story goes, Robin Herd from March heard about it.  That's when he flew to California to meet with Maury and convinced him to buy Marches rather than build his own cars.  If not for that rather persuasive trip, Michael Andretti might have achieved his success in '87 in a proprietary Kraco built car instead of a March. 

This particular car has a chassis plate describing it as "Kraco KR-1 001 Prototype".  We have numerous spares for it including many wing and suspension parts.  It is currently set up as a show car with a dummy Cosworth in it and a gearbox with "Kraco" cast into the side. After a little investigation, we now believe the gearbox still has all its internals.  We think these are standard Hewlad DGB parts. It retains almost all of the other original parts, too, including instruments, brakes, radiators, oil cooler, etc.  The car was not stripped as many show cars have been.  The only missing items we have discovered are the half shafts and one rear sway bar link.  It should be very easy and inexpensive to get it running again with either Cosworth or, with a little effort, Chevrolet power.  The paint scheme is the same as Danny Sullivan's car carried at the Indy 500 in 1992 when he drove for Kraco so we believe it was last used as a show car for that event.  It can be used as a show car again with almost no effort or could be raced in Euro BOSS, US BOSS or USSS.   This one is very inexpensive.  You will not find a more complete car any cheaper.
