This link is for a photo album from the previous owner. These pictures are at least 10 years old I believe. The car looks basically the same as it does now. I am posting this as I have had a lot of people ask about the fitment of the top with the cage.

Please don't pay too much attention to the videos in the Flickr album, as the engine was swapped along with the silencer last year at Tangerine Racing. For a video of the car running with the current engine, exhaust, tune, etc, please see the video link on the first page of this thread or the two videos on the CFR Tangerine Racing Facebook page.

video fail! I will try to get better video of the car on the road. This car needs nothing to hit the road and have fun. No rust issues and it starts right up regardless of the outside temperatures. Complete going over in 2016.

The last video really shows the car taking some nice turns at a local reservoir. I don't really know why the video starts mid way but be sure to back it up to the start so you don't miss any turns! Sorry about the fingers!

Chris,
Have you considered posting on Pelican? (Since no luck here).
You could also consider Bring A Trailer

This car is the real deal. Worked on by Tangerine racing. Clean, fully sorted, buy it and drive. I would have, but didn't have enough Benjamin's. Chris took me for a ride in it and it rode on rails.

I did post the car locally on Craigslist. I got some interest but I had to field a bunch of calls from third party brokers. That was annoying. I really was hoping to find someone on the forum that would be delighted to have this car. I think at $14.5, it is a smart buy with a lot of extras. I did not consider Pelican but will look into it. I love the car, and don't "need" to sell it asap. I will wait for the right buyer. I have had a ton of interest, but just not a "good" offer.

No front mount oil cooler so the front spoiler is strictly appearanece and aerodynamics. I love the look though I got some resistance from my wife initially.

The engine is an original 2.0 that I had installed by Tangerine Racing in spring 2016. The 2.0 rebuilt engine that was in the car when I purchased the car failed. The failure was diagnosed by Tangerine and the decision was made to replace the engine with a stock 2.0 they had on hand. Combined with the Fuel Injection system, the car starts, idles and runs wonderfully. Regardless of weather temperatures, or conditions, the car barks to life and is ready for service.
I have been loving the car more than ever in September! The afternoon sun on the finish is insane and the cool temps mean she is so happy. I won't budge on the price as the latest bump did generate some offers. Seeing some of the more recent listings makes me really scratch my head in a Homer Simpson sort of way!

I still have the car. The cage is a bolt in unit from Stable Energies. It really doesn't interfere with driving at all.

I just read this entire thread..... WOW..... what a great car, at a great price.
Just a couple quick questions if you don't mind:
1) Are the bumpers fiberglass or metal? Have they been repaired at all with bondo? One of the first things I'd like to do is ship them off to be re-chromed (just a personal preference)
2) Have you repaired/installed any of the parts mentioned in this thread since the beginning? (Shifter bushing, rear sway bar, etc)
3) You're in Virginia... right?

The black bumpers are metal and have not been repaired to my knowledge.
I have installed some parts personally. However, (thankfully), the car was completely gone over by Tangerine Racing about 1.5/years ago. Since then, I have replaced the shift linkage bushing and the battery ground strap. I also replaced the turn signal relay with a new relay. That new relay buzzed so I pulled it. I have a different replacement relay that I have not installed.
I live just north of Baltimore.
