Parts and Automobilia – Rolling Chassis

This Reynard open-wheel race car was built in December 1999, sold new to Target Chip Ganassi Racing, and reportedly campaigned by Della Penna Motorsports in the 2000 season of the CART PPG Indycar World Series. It was subsequently used in the 2001 film Driven, and was later donated to the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, from whom it was acquired by the seller in 2022. The car features a carbon fiber monocoque finished in a red, white, black, and silver Nextel livery, along with BBS and OZ Racing center-lock wheels, a steering yoke, front and rear spoilers, and a rear diffuser. It is not fitted with an engine, transmission, brakes, or dampers. This Reynard roller is being offered at no reserve in Los Angeles, California with a bill of sale. The car was reportedly campaigned in eight races of the 2000 CART PPG Indycar World Series by drivers Norberto Fontana and Memo Gidley for Della Penna Motorsports before it was retired following damage sustained during an incident at Gateway International Raceway. It was repainted in its current red, white, black, and silver Nextel livery for its appearance in the film Driven. Equipment includes front and rear wings, dual side-view mirrors, and a rear diffuser. Various chips and scratches can be seen up close in the gallery below. Center-locking BBS front and OZ Racing rear wheels are mounted with Firestone Firehawk slicks. The car is not equipped with dampers, brake calipers, or rotors. The cockpit houses a molded bucket seat along with exposed carbon fiber side panels, a MOMO steering wheel, and a gear lever located to the driver’s right. The car is not fitted with pedals, instrumentation, or switchgear. The seat foam is deteriorating. A custom cradle has been installed in the engine bay, reportedly to accommodate a motorcycle engine for the vehicle’s use in the film. Two axles and a cracked transaxle case are retained. Abrasions are present on the underside, additional photos of which are provided in the gallery below. Filed under: parts and automobilia
