This 1998 Swift 008/014 Formula Atlantic race car was purchased new for use in the Pro-Atlantic Series.
I have four 008’s in my inventory at the time and this car, chassis #007, was their test chassis.
After it’s time on the track, it was stored for a number of years.
#007 qualified for the 2007 SCCA Runoffs. The Swift was purchased four years ago and has only track tested it for 8 laps in 2014 at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
The Swift is in original 008 configuration with 014 upgrades, and runs on a rebuilt Hasselgren Engineering powertrain consisting of a 1.6 liter
Toyota 4AGE inline-four mated to a Hewland NST 5 speed sequential gearbox. It is vintage eligible in SVRA and most sanctioning organizations,
