Dialed in Open Road Racer

Priced reduced to $9000 12/15/07

********PRICE REDUCTION $12,000.00 ******** 11/11/07


Hi all,

I haven't been around for awhile due to some financial realignments. Being self employed is cool but sometimes it can get sorta hinky. Good news is the realignment was a huge success even though I had to really work for a change for awhile.

On to business....



3 years ago I was heavily involved buying police vehicles at auction and flipping them. Crown Vics, Caprices, SUVs etc. It was a great gig. I picked up a 96 B4C from the City of Ft Worth with that intention. Things went terribly awry from that point :unsure: .

The car ended up becoming a full blown ORR participant... and a family project for myself and my 2 grown kids. That was the best part; doing it with the kids, going to the races and having those once in a lifetime experiences.





So why am I selling? Loss of interest pure and simple. Both kids are active duty military now and they would like race but that just doesn't work out too well. Old Dad likes to race but it just isn't the same without the kids.

Just listing this car is a monumental task because of all the mods that have been done to it.

Here is a URL to several pages that detail the buildup: B4C Build

The car is prepped and in race ready trim. It has participated in 6 ORR races and finished in each one. We ran the Texas Mile in it, an HPDE at Texas World Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway.



Most notable finishes:
1st Place 145mph Class 2006 Roadrunner Open Race
2nd place 130mph Class 2005 Roadrunner Open Rad Race
4th place 135mph Class 2006 Bonneville 100

I don't want to take up a bunch of bandwidth with pics. You can see tons of videos and pictures of this car here:

Open Road Racing B4C

The car has not been stripped -- still full interior including working AC, lights, etc . Up until about 3 moths ago it had a current registration and inspection. IE street legal --- sorta.

Now to the rub-- you never get back what you have invested in one of these cars-- that is a given. The biggest bargains are cars that are sorted and ready to go and that is what this one is. I have north of $30k invested and would like to recoup less than half of that.

No thanks,

I have receipts for $35000 worth of upgrades on my car. My shocks, springs and brakes are worth more than what you are offering.
