Talk about out of the blue. I was debating on getting it when it was for sale as a roller some time ago But ended up picking up one of the cars I have now. I was wondering where it went.

I've got the original V-6 that Jimmy D ran in the car. Been thinking about putting it back together if I ever get the time. I'd sell it if anyone's interested but don't know what I'd ask at this point in time.

I don't know what the fahell he would do with it but my father in law is interested in the car. He wants it with a 3.8 tho..... Can I get some pictures of the V6?

Not the Ruggles engine with the special heads? I thought Ski had that engine.

He did. I bought Ski's car back in 05.

Did he have the TEC on it when you bought it or did he end up putting a difference engine management system on it?

Yep, I'll take some and send them to you when I get to my storage room. May be a week or two.

It had a gen 6 dfi system when I bought it.

Wow... big step backwards. It had a TEC-II on it when Jimmy D had it. One of the few guys to ever run a TEC.. great ignition system, subpar engine management but thats another story for another time.

Thanks makes sense because Job Sr. from Turbo People tuned that car.

Jim,

I was talking about Frank Ski.
However I helped Michael Fell a little bit with your old street car.
It will be out this year with a Duttweiler Stage 2 and a GT47.

Best regards,

John Wilde

Hi Jay yea still kicking , nice to see my car again . Dave Vickes the owner is a great guy,and the price is more than fair,I had at least 40k into the roller...And it still looks as good as when I had it !!

I still talk to Conrad fairly regularly.. he's putting together some kind of supercharged Infiniti SUV or something.

Thats a nice car.. hard to go wrong for the price as long as it will still certify.

 

[Jim D 1310]

Wow say Hi to Conrad for me . He likes all that crazy supercharged stuff I heard he is going real fast with them..The Buick should still cert I guess.

 

[Jim D 1310]

Sorry I still get a little touchie about my old car.Understood: Job, when ski had it. The 86 white car, I miss that one the most..Good that M fell still has it !!.
