Description: This is an exceptionally well preserved original condition vintage race vehicle. It had a completed documented frame up rebuild from 1990 – 1994 by Jon Waterhouse, Albany, NY. The car was originally purchased and constructed by Bob Pagan, Long Island, NY in 1972 and raced in SCCA Regional events until 1980. This FF was not raced from 1980 until 1994 after Waterhouse’s restoration. The #46 Caldwell was the featured FF at the July 1994 Lime Rock 25th Formula Ford Reunion finishing 3rd in class. This chassis has a total of 33 races logged since built in 1972 and has only 12 races since the original restoration in 1994. There have been various updates to this Caldwell since my purchase in 2002 such as; Tilton Starter, 32/36 DGV Weber, OMP Fire System, Sabelt Belts, Autometer Electronic Gauges. All upgrades/improvements were professional performed.

History: This car was originally purchased and built by Bob Pagan and raced in SCCA events by various other owners until late 1980. A completed pictorial documentation was preserved by Mr. Pagan during his ownership. Jon Waterhouse, also provided a complete pictorial of his pain staking 4 years restoration. This car has competed in SCCA, SVRA, HSR and VDCA events since 2002 under the #46 with 5 class victories.

The D9 Caldwell FF Marque won the 1969 SCCA runoffs driven by Skip Barber. The same year, Jim Clarke won the Inaugural IMSA Formula Ford race at Pocono International in a Caldwell D9.
