Sorry, video will not attach. Contact me and I will send it by another means.

Put the video on youtube (access public) and attach a link to the youtube video here.

Thanks Mark. I might give that a try.

I forgot to mention the car comes with a California Title.

Asking price reduced to $15,500. This is a great price for a brass car!

I just wanted to say a very nice car Mark, I like the colour, good luck with the sale, someone will be buying a very nice car

Brent,

Thank you for the positive comment. Had a few inquiries regarding the tires, transmission, and body wood.

The transmission / hogshead has not been converted to a starter setup. It has the original reinforced aluminum hogshead. The battery is a small hotshot battery added for ease of starting and is located under the front floor boards. It also has a trickle charger installed to keep it charged to full capacity.

The tires are Firestone brand with about 90% tread and in good condition.

Body wood is outstanding!

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Ok guys. I’ve had a few inquiries. How about $15,000.

Final price reduction $14,500.

I received several offers on this nice car. The best was $12,500. If you like this car, make me an offer over $12,500 and we'll see what happens. Mark Chaffin (951) 805-0928

Lots of interest; however, no one willing to pull the trigger at $14,500.

Wife would like to have her garage space back.

Price is now $13,500.

Final price reduction $13,000. Not likely you could build the car for anywhere near that price. Mark Chaffin (951) 805-0928

Btt

Price is now $12,500. Great deal for someone. My loss is your gain!

The car has been sold. Thanks Eric! Thanks MTFCA!

Finally! Be interesting if only out of sheer nosey-ness to whom and for how much!

Both went to Eric in San Diego for last asking price.

Mark

that was a deal. Am surprised at the low price, though the color probably hurt some... a very good buy for Eric

Scott,

Yes. I was happy to sell both cars to Eric who will be a good caretaker for quite a few years to come at only 28 years of age! It renewed my faith that the hobby is alive and well with a small aspect of the younger generation.
