Vortex Three Wheeled Car

The Vortex is a three wheeled car which is built from plans. That's right; there is no kit, just plans.

Here's a great photo of the late Arvil "Shep" Shepherd's Scorpion (A highly-modified Vortex) and Dan Lenox's Vortex. These are two of the three known Vortex cars which have been completed from the plans.

Here's a link to Dan's FANTASTIC Vortex build-blog, which documents every step of the build process.

Here's a link to Shep's Scorpion Build Pages. This will likely be taken down soon, so check it out while you can.

None of your links to the Vortex builds are functioning! Was particularly interested in Dan Lenox's build. I hope this is merely a "faux pas", as getting this info. out there would probably stimulate potential fellow builders!! Cheers. Gb bg Please change email notification to: 4maranatha@tds.net, Thanx.

Dans website is probably down. I have bit spoken to him in years. Shep was a good friend, he has passed. I have information on these. Let me know what info you are looking for.
Happy to help.

I was able to buy a set of plans in 4/2020. My good friend and I will be doing a tandem build. A lot has changed over the years. Is anyone else interested in a build?
