it looks nice. i like the wheels. sideshifter upgrade is a welcome addition. weird how the engine shot was clipped/cropped to hide the battery area.
if you want to get rid of the sterring wheel, let me know. it would look good in the boat. |

Brad mayur is highly reputable for teeners.
For mileage costs, I'll would take a drive up there, but the auction ends in 2 days... I can take as many pics as you like if you want If it doesn't sell on Thursday, Lemmy know... I'll take a drive up this weekend and give you the rundown. Morton is about 3 hours from me.... too tough to do that on a school night, for both my daughter and I. |

I don't know the car, but I do remember that it was listed on eBay a few months ago. (I remember the license plate for sure)
Other BBS members are already trying to buy parts off the car and you don't even own it yet. Please add my name to the list. I would love to add the "QUIK 914" plate to my collection. Seriously. |

If you email him, ask him if the car was at Tweeks Funfest this year.
If so, I may have seen it. |

I have a 7 year old daughter that I'd be dragging with me though. Plus, I'm active duty Air Force, I can't just leave early or take days off on a spur of the moment. I wish I could help immediately.... Best I can do is this weekend. |

I believe that it was listed for sale in the classifieds a few weeks back. Take a look here:

Just checked the link that 74GoKart posted. Looks
like the asking price was $8500 back in April. |

Looks like a nice car...however...........
QUOTE American Racing (Libre) hard to find four bolt wheels can also mean that if you curb a wheel or two, you might be buying an entire set of new rims since it'll be a littler tougher to find that one or two rim which will need replacing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm just saying that sometimes hard to find might end up kicking you in the @ss down the road....

The sticker on the windshield and the wood dash made me think it was this car:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1055045316.jpg) But if you look closely, this one has a center console, the one on ebay does not, also, the yellows are different. Sorry, but I don't know if I saw that one or not. Here are all the pics I took there: Tweeks pics |
