I am pondering purchasing a speedster and am having trouble with a value!
The owner is firm at $10,000.00. He has owned it for about 40 yrs. He paid $ 350.00 for it !!
The car was used in the 70's in the Long Beach Hill Climbs.
I am at a loss and I know photos would help!! !
The body style is a boattail very similar to the Mercury!
It has a rectangle not a round trunk lid!
The 5th tire mounts on the rear of the boattail !
I am sure that it is a home built body and frame!
I cannot believe the quality and detail in the body and frame.
The body is CHERRY, 5 nice 21" wheels and tires, perfect seat covering(kind of a two seat combo ONE PIECE TIGHT FIT) dash , steering wheel perfect. no head lights!
The frame is fully boxed and lowered. Every detail is perfect! No rust, nice paint, a few spiders.
The motor has a 22 serial number, he will make it run before sale. Has a distributor, headers, and down draft manifold and carb, Richardo head.
It had been on a non op from 1995! It is registered as a roadster!!
He agrees to get the registration all cleared up. (should be off the CA DMV records) I think that he can get the specil plates due to the title and age.
It looks like a once in a life time deal for me!
I will need to lose about 20 lbs, and go barefoot to drive the racer!
I have 4 T's and never have spent $ 10,000 total!( Multiply like rabbits)
I am trying to talk myself out of it!! But!!
Will kick myself in the *****forever!!!
What do you think about a speedster/ roadster, and $10,000.00 in this economy!
