1969 AVS Shadow Mk1 \u2018Lowline\u2019<\/h1>\n
\n

The first AVS Shadow was this lowline prototype built for the 1970 Canadian-Amercian (Can-Am) challenge. It was unusually low and captured the attention of Road & Track who put it on their cover and called it the “most radical Can-Am yet”. Others have called it the \u2018go-kart\u2019 or \u2018roller-skate\u2019. The car’s creator, Don Nichols called it \u201cthe two dimensional car.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pete Lyons wrote \u201cThe car is hard to believe even when seen, so tiny is it \u2013 literally knee-high. It all depends on the minute Firestone tires, which have 11ins and 16ins footprints but are mounted on wheels 10ins and 12ins in diameter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don Nichol’s started Advanced Vehicle Systems Incorporated with the sole intent of winning the Can-Am. He had designer Trevor Harris design the first car which became known was the Mk1. It used 10×11 inch wheels up front and 12×16 wheels in the rear to achieve a low stance. The idea was to have a severely reduced frontal area to maximize top speed potential.<\/p>\n

This setup unfortunately left little room for much more than the engine. For instance, the suspension travel was severely limited, forcing the use of small wishbones and triple mini-springs. The brakes were machined down to an eight inch diameter, and required special active cooling to pull air from the area.<\/p>\n

The driving position was cramped and required the driver to straddle the horizontal steering column and use 45\u00ba pedals. Just behind the driver was a huge big-block Chevrolet engine with massive intake plenium that dominated the cabin. There was no room for a clutch so that was relocated within arm’s reach and only used for starting.<\/p>\n

Another problem was gearing, so a special Hewland LG600 was built that could withstand clutchless shifts and also included a custom gear set to deal with the small tires. It had enough strength to deal with Chevrolet’s potent all-aluminum ZL1 engine with over 600 bhp on tap. Many different engines were built-up for the Shadow included the production L88 and each was fitted by Fred Larsen with a custom oil scavenger and pan to reduce engine height.<\/p>\n

The chassis was built from box-sectioned aluminum and the body was thin unstressed Fibreglass. Many of the box sections of the chassis were removable and modular for ease of repair. Two 90 liter fuel tanks formed part of the chassis on either side of the engine.<\/p>\n

Work began on the first car in the middle of 1969, but the final specification wasn’t ready until the season opener at Mosport in 1970. Later the car received a massive integrated rear wing that increased the height of the car substantially.<\/p>\n

Despite a theoretical top speed of 250 mph, the Mk1 was relative failure on the track, with overheating being a main issue. George Follmer should be well credited for driving such an avant garde and powerful car.<\/p>\n

Bonham’s Auction<\/h4>\n

At their Important Sale of Collectors’ Motorcars and Automobilia on 18 Aug 2006 at the Quail Lodge Resort, Bonhams sold a Lowline Mk1 for $111,150 inclusive of Buyer’s Premium. It was described as \u201cIn the mid-1980s [ex shadow fabricator] Don Nichols was approached on behalf of the great German competition car enthusiast and collector Peter Kaus \u2013 creator of the Rosso Bianco Collection \u2013 who was interested in acquiring a number of his important CanAm cars. He was particularly interested in the 1969-announced small-wheeled prototype in its original launch form \u2013 as publicized at the time in connection with its being driven by past Indianapolis star Rufus \u2018Parnelli\u2019 Jones. We understand that Mr. Nichols had the car restored in that form and amongst the documentation file accompanying all these cars at Quail Lodge there is a copy of a \u2018Bill of Sale\u2019 between Don G. Nichols of Carmel, California, and Mr. Peter Kaus of Aschaffenburg, Germany, dated May 16, 1990\u201d. According to Doug Nye this was a car was severely damaged in the trailer accident from the \u201cextensively re-skinned Mosport and Ste Jovite race tub.”<\/i><\/p>\n

He's on a first-name basis with his local Porsche dealership staff and considers the Porsche 911 to be his spirit animal. Ask him about the weather, and he'll tell you how the Porsche 911 handles in the rain. Mention your vacation plans, and he'll explain the best scenic routes to drive a Porsche. In short, Pete's life is a high-speed adventure with Porsche as the co-pilot.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.nickdellis.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.dellis.3","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dellisn\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/1nickdellis\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/caradmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
