DISCLAIMER: I hope this isn't a rules violation not posting my car for sale in the correct forum. I'm looking for a local sale so the new owner can come see the car and I can give details on everything that has been done so everyone is on the same page and there is no surprises.

Guy's,

Why are you selling your beast?

 

[TurboTGuy]

I never thought you were serious when you spoke of selling her.......... Gawd, I love that car!!!!!!!!!!


25K is a steal on this car. I believe this car to be one of the BEST examples of a serious TR on the planet. It is astounding to look at in person.

Thanks Guys!

I've had fun with the car but I have too much on my plate and too many projects right now. I've had some interest from a couple of guys that had the inside track on the car but nothing solid. There are a lot of spare parts that go with the car. I hope I can find a good home for it.

Wow! That looks amazing! There's no way you could get close to building that for your selling price. Someone is going to get a fantastic car. GLWS.

Where in Cali are you?

 

[Grand_87_national]

Jeez..... $25k wouldn't cover the cost of the engine alone, would it? Beautiful car, glws. Wish I had money.... and more garage space.

 

[BEATAV8]

Amazing car! A steal at that price too

 

[750H.P.V6]

Where in Cali are you?

Thanks

Damn If this year hadn't been such crap I'd be all over it.

 

[greeneyegi]

how bout we race for pinks.
Except i need 2 car length and you cant use boost?
Cmon work with me!

 

[turbolou]

I building a stage engine just like the one listed here for a customer . There will be easily the asking price of this car in the long block. I would put the true value of this car somewhere arownd 40-50 k If I was younger & still interested in going racing or even street driven this would be the car. I also have known Niel to be a sharp Buick tech & doubt with my 35 years experience I could better what he has to offer. someone take this bargin so I won't be tempted.

 

[chopped39]

I’m contemplating this car right now. Problem is I’m in Chicago.

 

[TurboTGuy]

Neil, please call Papa Lou. Trying to put a deal together.

 

[TurboTGuy]

Thanks Neil!

We all agree, this is too much car for me. I'm a 10 second guy on my best day.

Someone will buy this car, and get a HELL of a deal!!!!!!!!!

 

[chopped39]

I sent a pm. This car is way to much for me as well but I’m going to step up my game. I have never bought a car site unseen. That’s why I have some questions before I step up . Neil If it’s alright with you could you pm me the vin and mileage. I’m really overwhelmed right know because of the caliber of this car so please bare with me.
