1970 Quasar SR-70 Navigation

Fred Puhn of Southern California was a Mechanical Engineer with a background in the aerospace industry. His experience as a structural and design engineer was instrumental in building his racing cars, resulting in a car with exceptional stability, low drag, and high downforce.

His race car won the first four races in which it competed, earning admiration from the racing community and convincing Puhn to form the Chassis Engineering Co. The company's mission was to produce cars and sell plans enabling home-grown mechanics to build a worthy competitor infused with upgrades of their own creation.

Various power sources were installed, including an Ocelete Suzuki 750cc, a 1300cc Ford Escort engine, and a Lotus Twin Cam unit. The suspension was independent with A-arms at the front and coil springs at the rear. Disc brakes provided the stopping power.
