91' DRM

[witdog2020]

Thanks Jeff, Pete, I am getting new info on the car. The owner talked with Doug Rippie today, and as it turns out this car may even be rarer than the 8 built by Rippie. The car was indeed built by Kim baker and Dieline Racing before Doug ever got involved. It is a black motor car but not the famed Black Widow car. The widow car did not use these style brakes, and did not have front cage bar this car has. Doug went on to explain that Kim Baker was heavily involved in the original tuning of the black motors before Doug got involved. Still searching.

This car has the DRM-500 chip, It has the black motor. The service records show the car belonged to Hansen an engineer for Dieline racing, and the paperwork references Jay's car in a few places including Jay's number. Dieline returned the call today but he missed the call. So he will try to get in touch tomorrow.

I found out the Dymag wheels seem to be limited in these widths, I will forward the serial numbers to them tomorrow and see who the original purchaser was, they have been helpful as well.


I will move this from the for sale post to a general discussion on the car. I appreciate the help

#2 1991 Black/Black.......... Wait Steve
#3 1990 Black................... Glenn Greider
#4 1993 Ruby/Ruby........... Jerry Crews
#5 1991 Black................... Joe Whitney
#6 1992 Red/Black............ Dr Michael Jackson
#7 1993 Aqua................... Mark Schultz
#8 1991 White/Grey.......... Jim Van Dorn

Jeff Isn't that the list of the ORIGINAL Black Widow owners?
When I was searching with the guy in Australia who wanted one, we were trying to locate the CURRENT owners of the Black Widows. That was done about 2-3 years ago but I gave up searching because of too many dead ends. The current status of my searches is listed in this thread http://zr1netregistry.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9560

Pete asks, "Why would anybody pay extra for a Black Widow?"
Because there were only 8 ever made
