Description

1982 Crossle Formula Ford – Restored Race Car

This 1982 Crossle Formula Ford is a restored vintage open-wheel race car featuring a rebuilt stock engine, refreshed systems, and an extensive collection of spare racing components. Chassis No. 50F 82 05 makes this a distinctive period Formula Ford chassis suitable for vintage racing, track use, or continued preparation for competition.

The car has been restored with attention to its mechanical systems while retaining the character of a vintage Formula Ford. The bodywork has normal wear and tear consistent with a previously used race car, while the engine has been freshly rebuilt using a stock configuration. The car is equipped with Aeroquip fittings, providing upgraded connections throughout the applicable systems.

The current package does require several items before it is ready for competition. Specifically, the car needs a fuel cell, harness, fire system, and tires. These components should be selected and installed according to the applicable vintage-racing organization and current safety regulations.

One of the major advantages of this Crossle is the extensive collection of spares included with the car. The package contains multiple sway bars for both front and rear suspension, a large selection of Heim joints and steering rack ends, spare springs, A-frame break-away clips, and replacement front and rear uprights.

The drivetrain spare package is particularly comprehensive. It includes eight listed gear sets, two dog rings, layshaft bearings, a Hewland reverse-drive gear, and a fine-thread Hewland layshaft. These components provide useful options for maintaining and setting up the transmission for different track requirements.

Additional service parts include front and rear seals, a valve-cover gasket, and an oil-pan gasket. The sale also includes eight wheels in total, with four currently fitted to the car and four spare wheels.

Chassis & Mechanical Package

The restored Crossle features a freshly rebuilt stock engine and Aeroquip fittings. The suspension package includes multiple sway-bar sizes and spare suspension hardware, allowing the car to be configured according to track conditions and driver requirements.

The included gear sets provide a broad selection of gearing options. Because the supplied information lists the gear combinations individually, they are preserved below exactly as provided.
