Scottsdale, Georgia-based Evans Automobiles built several prototype-style road cars in the 1990s. The Series I GT features Kevlar-carbon-fiberglass composite bodywork based on Jim Downing’s Kudzu IMSA Camel Lights car, and this example was refinished from white to orange under previous ownership. Features include NACA ducts, butterfly doors, a single windshield wiper, and headlight covers.
The multi-piece 17″ wheels feature basketweave inserts with Evans-branded center-lock hubs and are mounted with 245/40 front and 315/35 rear BFGoodrich g-Force T/A…
Scottsdale, Georgia-based Evans Automobiles built several prototype-style road cars in the 1990s. The Series I GT features Kevlar-carbon-fiberglass composite bodywork based on Jim Downing’s Kudzu IMSA Camel Lights car, and this example was refinished from white to orange under previous ownership. Features include NACA ducts, butterfly doors, a single windshield wiper, and headlight covers.
The multi-piece 17″ wheels feature basketweave inserts with Evans-branded center-lock hubs and are mounted with 245/40 front and 315/35 rear BFGoodrich g-Force T/A tires. The Series I GT rides on a 105″ wheelbase and features a semi-monocoque chassis with aluminum honeycomb panels. The fully-independent suspension features C4 Corvette-sourced aluminum unequal-length control arms along with coilovers at all four corners. The suspension was modified and the Corvette components were installed by Team York Racing of York, Pennsylvania in 2007 along with a Mazda Miata-sourced steering rack and C4 ZR-1-sourced disc brakes. This chassis was reportedly used as a development mule by Evans, spending time on track before conversion to road specification.
The cabin features fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in black pleated leather. Features include a full roll cage and aluminum side sills. The air conditioning system was converted to R134a, but will need to be recharged according to the seller.
The Alcantara-wrapped MOMO steering wheel is mounted on a quick-release hub ahead of VDO instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 31k miles.
The 5.7-liter Chevrolet V8 features aluminum cylinder heads and electronic fuel injection. A replacement timing chain, gears, and water pump were fitted by FunKtion Auto Group of Dulles, Virginia in October 2012, and a November 2021 service performed by Auto Centro Inc. of Rockville, Maryland included the installation of a new battery as well as an oil change.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a ZF five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
