I'll edit the website to be congruent with your recollections and try to find a place for at least one of those neat period pics. bob Alder On Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:58:48 -0500, Myron Boyajian wrote: To Bob Alder and other interested folks, Please see the copy below of a previous email regarding the Bobsy body parts. After a search through old pix, I now think we can close the case on the body parts shown on the "adamsgarage" website. Please see the attached pdf images of me racing my car at Blackhawk Farms. I believe the race was Chicagoland Sports Car Club's "The Looong Race" in October 1970. I came in 2nd to Dave Alberti's DSR special (Car #10, scan 0004.jpg), which won due to Dave's smooth driving and as I recall, a killer Suzuki 750 triple. Clone or not, the car was a lot of fun to drive and I put a lot of racing miles on it. You'll see that my #18 has a Novice "X" on it, because at various times as money and raising a family forbade it, I let my full comp license lapse and had to re-up as a novice. After I redesigned and rebuilt both front and rear suspensions, the car handled really nicely and consistently. Its only weaknesses were its Saab engine as compared to the Suzuki 750 triples coming into use, and its Lambert-converted Fiat 600 transaxle that would on occasion lock up into neutral. I lost a race at the Milwaukee mile road course for just that reason. That really graveled me as I had pole position and a great start, but accelerating out of the Hairpin at the South end of the infield road course it locked in neutral as I went from Second to Third. Oh well.... I have said before that I have always thought the Bobsy SR-3 to be one of the most beautiful and "voluptuous" cars built. I put the car in only one car show, not being a "shine & show" type guy, but, surprise, I won a trophy at the car show, beating out a Lola Can-Am car! I still have the silver bowl on my shelf. Race safe and fast, and most importantly, have fun! Best regards to all, Mike Boyajian "Hi Adam, I saw the pix on the "adamsgarage" website and I can tell that the body pieces look like the front and rear sections from my old car, but the suspension pieces do not. I can't be sure of the engine, but if memory serves, my Saab engine had a 2-barrel side draft carb and a single expansion chamber fed by the cast iron exhaust manifold (a three-into-one system, if you will).

I'm not(at least for now) interested in restoring a Bobsy. I 've been trying to learn the history of the car I did have in order to complete the entries in the Registry.

Aluminum Bobsy pieces. These parts are on the Bobsy Registry above yours - the 7th SR3 entry originally purchase by Randy Smith and documentation from the owners in Ohio and Illinois into the early 1980's after which minimal documentation but I purchased it out of IL and brought out to Seattle area. Came with an 850cc Saab Monte Carlo motor (sold locally 08/14/2014) with a small / thin adapter-plate which I was trying to match up - perhaps this is for your Fiat transaxle. All the parts I have are shown in the photos http://adamsgarage.com/bobsy_2/3 of the 4 corners, shocks, two wheels, and part of the aluminum chassis near where the engine is supported. Happy to sell the body separately and hope to find a home for the remainder of the parts by end of Summer. Please feel free to email me directly or give me a call anytime.
