Super Duper 7: 1974 Lotus Super 8 Custom


In the world of custom cars, there are “custom” cars, and then there are “CUSTOM” cars. Today’s next feature looks like a modified circle track racer that got heavy into thelifting for gains scene…and maybe some anabolic steroids. Much protein powder was consumed. It is expensive, but with a 602 horsepower V8 and 1920 lb curb weight, this thing should move. Find this 1974 Lotus Super 8 Custom offered for $34,000 in Plymouth, CT via facemelt burnbook.

Seller’s description
This is a professionally built Custom supercar tagged and titled as a 1974 Lotus Elite S8 or Super Eight. Detail in text about the build will be in pictures as there is too much for the listing. Power comes from a big-bore short stroke all forged SBC-derived dry sump high compression 409 cubic inch V-8 making 620 hp (have dyno sheet) connected to a Tremec 5 speed manual transmission connected to a Winters quick change rear end. This Car weighs 1920 pounds empty, zero to 100 to zero is possible in 9 seconds in spite of loads of tire spin. Just under 700 street miles on everything, it’s never been on a track. Comes with an Expired Vermont registration and a new, clean Montana title. It Has power steering, and it runs and drives and starts and stops perfectly but it is incredibly dangerous in unskilled or irresponsible hands. Will consider a late model Toyota or F250 in trade. Respond with a PHONE NUMBER if serious or you may not get a response from me.
