We’ve never driven a Formula V, but we’ve seen a lot of them. And this one may not actual be VW powered like the originals, in fact there are several Formula classes that have all kinds of different engine and trans packages in them. But since this one is older, and did in fact appear to start out as a VW like the original Formula V kits, we tend to think it is.
With that said, it’s got all kinds of bitchin going on here. Awesome looking body package, the wheels are insanely awesome as are the tires, and the overall look of the thing just makes you feel like a race car driver I’m sure.
We’d love to run this thing around the big track at Willow Springs and shoot some cool old fashioned car to car footage so we could look like we were in an old movie. Oh and then we’d go real fast. Just saying.
Here is what the seller has to say about it:

This isnt a formula vee it looks like a formula 440 or 500 with wings,
That car has been for sale for years. Not even sure it’s a v, wrong wheels, wrong body, no mention of powertrain. Later year water cooled super vees are extremely fast at willow and not for the beginner. They are also high maintenance.
It has the FV front axle assembly but that is about as far as it goes. No almost legal FV VW motor is going to push a car hard enough to need those tires and wheels. Now, if he dropped one of those zeros off the price it may make it interesting.
WTF did they do, I want to see the Framenumber, I think it’s a formula Vee though, but a 2 carburator car, Totally wrong body and other wrong stuff, so send me the framenumber so I can figure out what kind of car it is
