Wow, thats a killer price.

Christ, Bill.

Had I known that that thing was gonna be F/S at that price, I'da kept workin'.

Sheeit Bill! I know the economy taint been good to a lot of us... but DAMN!

Halvesies, JP?

Just posted this on Facebook and sent it to a few other friends. I'd love for someone I know to buy this. I just wish I had the money in the bank to purchase this

I want

goodluck on the sale!

The wife would make sure my retirement was short *lived*.

Mine would me silly, but it needed to be asked!

Gary needs something like this......and can afford it, me thinks.

$16500 is a steal. Someone should jump fast... I've driven the beast and its a whole lot of well thought out car for a fire sale price. No disappointments with this build. You can't build the chassis alone for what they're asking...

Hey Guys,

Spread the word. I'd love The Beast to go to a nice home that would appreciate what she is. I think she's priced pretty well considering what you get and how crappy the economy is.

It's heartbreaking in some sense to part with this car. She keeps coming back to me. But she's like a first love where life never quite aligns for you to get together. With me racing in Spec Boxster and working in a startup company, I just don't have the time, energy and storage to keep her.

A personal loss for me, but hopefully a car that someone can enjoy.

I'll forever love this car, but it's time for her to be driven!

Exactly how far from street legal is "the Beast"?

The Beast is no longer a car that can be street legal. It is a pure track/AX car now.

My friend is trying to buy this car. I hope he gets it because he promised me I could take it for a couple of laps.

Sold and delivered to her new owner!

Bill P.

Ok, who and where?

The Beast is tip top Shoe. Your friend made out like a thief!

I talked to his "friend"...he didn't get the car...

Car was purchased by someone here in Norcal, so we should get to see more of it in the near future!
