Coffield-SceptreDave Cammarano's car is not the ‘original’ Odenborg chassis (Ben Odenborg in Portland owns that one), but it is a documented chassis. Dave calls his car a Coffield-Sceptre. It is powered by a Honda 750 engine. This is the chassis that was described in Joe Puckett's book Big Men in Little Cars (which is now out of print).

Copy? - Mystery car"I have been told this is a car based loosely on a Sceptre chassis and body, built in the Northwest, probably in Portland. I have been in contact with Bill Stevens, who thinks this is a chassis that he and a friend made back in '74 and used a FIAT X1/9 drivetrain. The chassis looks quite a bit different than the picture he sent me of his car under construction, I guess it may have been modified in the past. He says the current chassis has a different suspension than what he built, which makes me think it may be a different chassis using Bill's body. I'm hoping that I can find some info out on this so I can build it back to it's original specification. I would also like to vintage race it if it is legal. Thanks in advance," John Allen
