100% complete minus one rod end.
You probably saw it when you were at BIR.
You're correct, I believe it was in one of the garages at the time.Quote:

Experience with these cars tells me the buyer did get a screaming deal - that means he'll spend a lot of time standing in the garage screaming at the car, followed by the screaming that will occur everytime he sees the cost of a replacement part (or cost to fabricate), followed by the screams of trying to get that engine to run.Quote:

Pop-
The swift FA parts bins are drying up and those cars are getting ridiculously expensive to support unless you have a boatload of spares from a previous owner.
Cars like these are best for those of us with engineering degrees and a TIG welder. For others without such facilities, it's getting to be a lot of money.
I would have snatched that champ car up at that price almost definitely.
Yea - a big end that "spit out of the block"! :oQuote:

Gents;
I talked to Jed a couple weeks ago, and the car is still available as the high bidder backed out.
If anyone is interested, I can be of assistance in gathering photos, information, transporting, etc.
