1997 Reynard / CART Chassis 25 and 26

PPI/Max Papis Reynards for Sale – Complete turn-key racing package 1997 Models, Chassis 25 and 26 These cars were actually driven by Max Papis for PPI in 1997, 1998, and 1999. Chassis 26 was the primary car driven in most of the road circuit events. Chassis 25 was more of a back-up car, but was raced on occasion. Chassis 26 is a running and race-ready car. It can be driven in any series that allows unlimited open wheel cars, BOSS or similar series. Of course, it can also be used for any track day where open wheel cars are allowed. This car is in excellent restored condition, with a just a few scratches, chips, and other “features” of a race car. No expense was spared in making this car a user-friendly, fast, and reliable race-car. Please note that while much of the car is original, it is not “exactly as it was raced”. All parts are there to restore to as-raced condition, however, this car was essentially built for a good amateur driver who doesn’t want to spend all of his track days trying to make an exotic car run. If you have ever been to a day where half of the guys can’t get their cars running because they are too sophisticated, then you will appreciate the simplicity and cleanliness of this conversion. To begin, unlike most other conversions, the body length and wheelbase have NOT been modified in any way. Rather, a 4.3 liter Chevy V-6 has been installed, with custom aluminum spacer plates to ensure that the car’s wheelbase and suspension remain exactly as Reynard intended in the original production. The motor puts out approximately 525hp and is normally aspirated. The current motor is a zero-hour motor. AIM MXL dash, 6-speed Xtrac sequential gearbox (3 track days on it), over 1500 hours were spent on the restoration. All of the Indy electronics have been stripped out of this car (included) in order to make it completely reliable and worry free. The Chevy motor is powerful, durable, and parts can still be found and purchased relatively inexpensively. Unlike most of these cars, the car has an onboard starter, which helps make it really easy to track without an entire team.
