Oh Yeah, "Who has the Molds" was my first thought. Beautiful lines, love the outward sweep on the front fender peaks, agree the lights don't flow but it gives character. I've looked at pics of this car for years.
The #107 car was the first Bocar I ever saw, it was at Steam Boat Springs Vintage auto races some time in the late 80's I've wanted one ever since. I spoke with the owner of that car a few times over the years. There was a guy in Denver that had some front and rear clips, but they had been leaning against a wall for years and had taken a set(twisted) Carnes had stopped selling bodies to the general public after seeing one of his Bocar bodies mounted on a lifted Jeep chassis. Most of the people that have molds are reluctant to sell bodies as it could effect the value and rarity of the originals
excuse me for tossing this in the bocar thread I have had this front from some sort of sports car for years and have never quite figured out what it is I am wondering if it might be a variant of some model bocar probably not
This is the Pikes Peak Bocar Stiletto. Pictures taken last week. The Bocar is a very rare and truly historical automobile for American motorsports. Only three of these are thought to have been built. This is one of the two survivors and the only supercharged Stiletto. This ex-Bob Carnes "team" car was built to compete against the Scarabs. Carnes raced this Stiletto at Daytona, Pikes Peak (in the snow!) and even drag raced it. After Carnes, the Stiletto was raced by Bob Spooner (who ran the Purple People Eater Corvette) including competing at the 1963 USRRC race at Road America. The Stiletto retains its 1963 USRRC livery to this day.. The Bocar Stiletto recently went through some major safety modifications and upgrades. The suspension, fuel tank, and engine were all updated as well as the addition of a roll cage. Of the three Bocar Stilettos known, this is the only one in running condition and is Bob Carnes' "factory" race car built to compete with the Scarabs. Carnes entered drag races, road races, and hill climbs including Daytona and Pikes Peak. In 1961, his factory burned, destroying the molds and damaging this Stiletto. Carnes was able to acquire a couple of spare bodies and rebuilt the car using the original chassis, suspension, brakes and transmission; but with a new engine and Hilborn injection. Several owners have raced the car in various SCCA and USRRC races. The Bocar Stiletto, with its unique front mounted supercharged injected engine and Kurtis torsion bar suspension, is perhaps the most recognizable and outlandish American special prior to the rear-engine revolution. This is part of a dvd on the Meister Brau team at Continental Divide It is Harry Hauer in the Scarab vs, Bob Carnes in his Stiletto (this car) running a "match"race (just the two of them). Clearly the Stiletto is faster but the Scarab brakes made the difference. The Stiletto used drums and the Scarab discs. Not many cars ever "blew the doors off" a Scarab
