This is without a doubt the nicest, most well built, all steel RP I have ever seen. I have three pages of info regarding the construction of this car that I can email to interested parties along with 20+ photos. The folks who built this car really knew what they were doing in that they started with an A banger built by the best, H&H Engines in CA, folks well know in the industry who use nothing but the best in quality parts. Using an original A body and frame the rest of the steel is Brookville with almost everything you see on the underside powder coated in black. The only diversion from originality might be the 12 volt system, gel battery and alternator. This little car starts, stops, steers and drives much better than most "traditional" cars I have operated and with the 3.54 gears along with real synchros in the rebuilt transmission would not be difficult for most anyone who can operate a clutch to drive and will keep up with traffic easily. Interesting trade-ins considered but please, no junk or rats. No test pilots. Thanks!
After spending $200 on Ebay ads and wasting much too much time on low balling posers I am now considering an offer by a HAMB member to buy this car as a roller for an A-V8 conversion, something I must confess I would have done in my younger years. With that being said I am curious if there would be a market here for the engine/transmission combo or should I just put it on a sawmill or worse yet, in my Worthington to mow faster. I hate to take this neat little car apart but also don't want to store it all winter. BTW the engine/trans combo would have to bring at least $6k. Thoughts?
Because I really don't want to take this car apart and the fact that there wasn't enough interest in the driveline to warrant doing so I will again attempt to sell the car here and on ebay. The car can now be bought for $25k with "interesting" trade-ins looked at. No junk or rats please. Trading up to a traditional roadster also considered. Thanks
Goodbye to Yogi. To paraphrase the great man, I'd like to trade this car for cash-it's just as good as money.
Last price drop, $20k firm no trades. This thing needs to go south before winter, still has distilled water in the radiator and anti-freeze is expensive.
Sold and going back to some nice folks in sunny Calif. where it belongs. Thanks Walt, enjoy the car with the lovely bride.
