The front end looks familiar, please have a look at this one I bought a few years ago. Is it the same setup?

Thanks for posting those extra close up shots of the front end, these confirm that mine is identical.

Now the next question is ..... Does anyone have some more history to share about this special looking chassis?

I'm only missing the chassis middle and end bits :lol

i dont think they made many at all. From what i heard they did not perform very good on the track. But i am a bit suprised cars today dont look like this. It seems they could be built for much cheaper then the current window frame style cars.

Nice find there. I would say its a keeper. A very cool car for sure! I think i have only seen maybe 3 others in the past. one in parts...

According to Todd at quickdraw there where 26 cars total made including the one he owned that know I own.The one I have is the only one with a 35cc quickdraw engine converted from water cooled to air cooled to run on nitro.
