Description
1985 FRISBEE GR-7 CAN-AM Chassis No. 726 FIA passport expired, dated 2004 • Can-Am racing history with Yorkshire Motorsports • Driven by Bill Vincent, Herm Johnson and Bob Duprey • Chevrolet V8 engine prepared by McGarrity • Flywheel missing; will require recommissioning The Frisbee GR-7 belongs to the generation of single-seater prototypes that competed in Can-Am in the 1980s. Its wraparound bodywork and V8 powertrain are characteristic of this era of the North American championship. Commissioned by John Walsh for Yorkshire Motorsports, chassis 726 was entrusted to Bill Vincent, Herm Johnson and Bob Duprey for racing. Offered by RM Auctions in Monterey in 2000, it was acquired by its current owner in 2003. The car is fitted with a dry-sump Chevrolet Small Block V8 prepared by McGarrity, mated to a five-speed Hewland DG-Z gearbox. The flywheel is currently missing. Having been out of competition for several years, the car will require the supply of this part, a run-in period and a full inspection of the mechanics and safety features. The FIA passport has expired; the documentation and configuration will need to be reviewed for any return to racing. Its Can-Am history will appeal to an enthusiast wishing to return a prototype linked to the history of American motorsport to the track, subject to its admission to the envisaged events. 1985 FRISBEE GR-7 CAN-AM Chassis no. 726 Expired FIA passport dated 2004 • Can-Am history with Yorkshire Motorsports • Driven by Bill Vincent, Herm Johnson and Bob Duprey • McGarrity-prepared Chevrolet V8 • Flywheel missing; recommissioning required The Frisbee GR-7 belongs to the generation of single-seater prototypes that competed in Can-Am during the 1980s.
