Used open-wheel race cars are hardly uncommon, as many a garage is occupied with Formula Ford, Formula Vee, Formula Atlantic or other series-specific race cars and parts. Retired F1 cars, on the other hand, are a rare sight, since only a handful are built each year and many wind up in museums or in the private collections of constructors themselves. This 2010 Williams FW32 Formula 1 car, for sale on Hemmings.com, once graced the Williams private collection, and it was the very chassis driven by Nico Hulkenberg to a pole position in Brazil. If that’s the good news, here’s the bad: the 2.4-liter Cosworth CA2010 V-8 and associated seven-speed semi-automatic gearbox are not part of the package, making this car a very unique static display (or, perhaps, the ultimate candidate for an engine swap). From the seller’s description:
Offered directly from the Williams private collection via Official Williams Heritage Authorised Agents is this 2010 ATT/ Williams FW32 Cosworth -Chassis-01. Driven by Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg in 14 races in the 1998 World Championship where Nico achieved a pole position in Brazil making it the most successful chassis of all the FW32 series of chassis built in 2010.
