I am late to this thread, but what about posting this up on bring-a-trailer?
what about supraforums? @newman
Someone else has to post it to BAT unless you want to pay for their listings.

I guess I should sign up.
Saw this on instagram, and reminded me of your car
I’d put a V8 in this shell. Let me know when that becomes an option for me.
I’ve tentatively accepted an off for 8700 for the motor and no trans.
I think best bang for my buck would be selling the chassis only with the rb specific parts (exhaust radiator manifold) as a DIY RB26 swap kit. But we will see.
You are parting this beast out?!? NO!
8700 for just the motor seems solid.
We’ll see…
Yeah, I think I could net well over 20 doing that.
im in for cool e30 take offs
Like an awesome brake setup?
the brakes wouldnt fit under my wheels…
Buy his wheels too duh.
dont want em. i like my wheels
Serious question, why not run it in the 24 Hours of LeMons? They don’t crush cars anymore, the judges will give a bunch of penalty laps (who cares), but I think they would welcome the uniqueness of the car there. Probably would be the first “magazine caliber” car to be raced in LeMons.
That’s because there’s a $500 investment limit on all entries. Plus, after the race they’re allowed to buy your car for $500, even if you don’t want them to.
I’m pretty sure his initial investment into an e30 shell was right around that.
Having someone buy that post-race (especially after it probably gets banged up on the track) would suck in a whole bunch of ways.
I still want to buy this.
Incorrect. There is a $500 limit if you don’t want penalty laps. I doubt newman would care about winning or being competitive so penalty laps are irrelevant.
They have only claimed cars twice out of 80 some races, they didn’t claim a GTO or RX-8 that raced, just gave them a bunch of laps. I doubt that they would claim the car if you were forthcoming about the intent. It would take a simple email, “hey I’m bringing this car, with these mods, can you promise no to claim it”.
You know a hell of a lot more than me on the subject, but doesn’t the W2W aspect of the races cause damage on a regular basis, and wouldn’t people target his car for a little extra rub or two on a tight corner?
I’m speaking off the cuff, and clearly we are getting way off topic. I don’t foresee Newman entering this into a LeMons race, lol.
