Locate a Marcos in USA

Locate a Marcos in USA

2004-12-23 by Ploon

Hi All.....
 
 
There was a Marcos 1600 for sale in Hemmings 
Motor News about 3 months ago... the car was up near Watkins Glen racetrack, in upstate NY.  It was a left hand drive US market car.  Does anyone know more about this car.

I have been looking for  a Marcos 1600 or 1800 for many years, early 1970's to 
late 1980's. 
 
If anyone knows where to locate one, Please contact me. Now or in the Future......
 
I'm in the southwest / AZ / USA
 
                                               Thanks, and Happy Holidays
 
                                                               Lance

Hi Lance,
If you want a 1800 or 1600 then the correct years will be 1963 through 1966 (for the 1800) and 1968 through 1969 (for the 1600). The 1800's are very desirable for race cars and are very hard to find plus they didn't make very many of them (99). John Parker on the East Coast has a 1800 that he would probably sell if the price was right... I talked to him at Thunderhill race track last April and he was telling me how he had almost sold the car to some guy in Europe but the deal fell apart for some reason... but he is in no hurry to sell it and has it for a long time so the price would have to be fairly high to even get his attention. An employee at Dave Bean Engineering has a 1600 that has a engine that was originally rebuilt by Dave Bean. So far as I know she hasn't done much with the car since she bought it a couple of years ago. She might be worth a call... I have no idea if she actually wants to sell it. On the other hand, if the price is right most people will sell almost anything. Since she doesn't seem to be "doing much" (my perception and I may be wrong) with the car she might be motivated to sell the car to the right person.
Good luck,
Mike Denman

Lance,
Dave Bean Engineering is a small company (perhaps 10 employees) so anyone who answers the phone should be able to tell you who owns the Marcos. Their phone # is 209 754-5177.

Lance,
Dian is the Marcos owner at Dave Bean Engineering.
The car in NY is in Dundee, NY. It is #5158, a 1968 Marcos (1600 Ford engine). Has 68k miles. Needs header, has cracked windshield. It is red with black interior and has wire wheels. Contact is Fred Shoemaker (owner since 1976) Phone # (607) 243-8606. Think he was asking $13k.
John Parker in Syracuse, NY has an early 1800 (#4017) with the DeDion independant rear end. He is currently restoring it and plans to have it ready to race in 2005. I seriously doubt that he would sell it at this point.
