This auction is for a Magnum Gt designed by Custom Classic back in the mid to late 80’s. It was designed around the Ferrari Dino and was created by Lyle Mader of Custom Classics. There was approximately only 80 of these cars built and they are very rare. When Mr Mader 1st decided to design and build these cars they were meant to be sold as completed cars as almost all of them were. But in an effort to raise some money approximately the 1st 5 were sold as a kit car. This is one of those 5. All the components for this car were purchased in around 1985 Everything was still either crated or boxed, including the body. After much work the car was completed around 2003. This car is titled as a 2003 special Interest.
The body on this car is made of hand laid fiberglass. it is a one piece design with everything from the front to the back and floorpans to the roof being of one piece. Within this fiberglass is a full steel birdcage structure providing an extremely strong and safe car. The car was shown at the Carlisle Kit car and Import show after completion and a gentleman came up to the shop teacher and said he was the person who did a lot of the design work and fiberglass work on this body while working at a fiberglass shop in California back in the 80’s. He introduced himself as Chuck Beck. The designer and builder of the famous Beck Spyder’s. The paint and body on this car are still in outstanding condition.
The engine is an early Mazda 13B 4 port engine that was custom built by Tri-Point of California. It was street ported and runs a Holley 600 Cfm carb with a custom exhaust that was coated by Jet hot. The engine runs extremely well and is quite fast, especially in an all fiberglass car. For ignition I used an MSD box with direct fired ignition. This provides the leading spark plugs with a very hot spark as it by-passes the distributor. It also provides a more reliable spark at the higher RPMs that these engines are known for.
