    INCLUDES nearly complete set of serviceable rod-ends, from when I replaced them all some years ago

    Selling due to medical issues. I maintained the car so that I felt comfortable racing it hard, and would take it unchanged to VIR today if I could. I am fairly meticulous, so I made instruction sheets with photos for gear changes, engine removal and re-installation. If you wish, I will include those, along with setup data, torque specs and bolt lists. The car is fast, handles like a dream, and is an absolute blast to drive. I won the SARRC championship in 2008 and 2011 with it, and it won its last weekend out too. I am 6 ft and 186 lb, and I fit in the car.

    Car is in central Florida. Unfortunately, unable to deliver.
    Original homologation [?] certificate [see picture]
    Due to concerns about scammers, I cannot accept money orders, personal checks or foreign currency, etc. I prefer a certified check from a bank that has a local branch so it can be verified.

    Talent usually ends up in front, but fun goes from the front of the grid all the way to the back.

    How many channels does your CDS have? Does it have an expansion ssi box? If you want to sell it separate, or if the new owner wants to upgrade to something newer LMK.

    Unable to sell the CDS separately. A future owner might, if already invested in some other system,

    Default Best deal anywhere!

    Anyone who has run in the Southeast knows this car well. Jim is an "old school gentleman racer", who has been kind to many newer drivers like myself. The level of prep on his car was always perfect. I was always green with envy. All the set-up equipment and spares alone are probably worth the price. Knowing Jim, when he says race ready, he means it.
    Jim, we really hate to see you step away, but I know good things await in the future. Good Luck!

    Understood. Just throwing my offer out there to any prospective new buyer who if they continue with a data system is probably going to convert to a newer aim system.

    Price reduction: $21,000 - plus I will add a painted sculpt of the car. Not something you are likely to find for many cars not built by Ferrari or Pagani

    Default Pm box full

    Jim, do you know that your message box has maxxed out? You will have to delete messages to make space.
    I have a few questions about your car if it's still available.

    Buy now, before the cold weather arrives, and be ready for the spring races!

    Default International sales advice

    I have someone who may be interested in the car, but they are apparently in Mexico. Anyone have any experience / advise on international sales? I have read that this is high risk for a scam, so I am considering declining to entertain the interest.

    Well, if somebody comes to the door and hands you cash that should be fine. Other forms of payment are perhaps suspect.
    Caldwell D9B - Sold
    Crossle' 30/32/45 Mongrel - Sold
    RF94 Monoshock - here goes nothin'

    Default Mexico

    FF is apparently doing well down there - ask Jay Ivey, he knows most of the players
    Wire transfers have worked well for us out of Mexico for quite large amounts on occasion.

    I have sold a couple cars to MX. Both have done with traditional wire transfer. Not to be confused with anything else "like a wire transfer". Wire Transfer. Easy to do, as the seller, all you really need to do is accept the money via wire and make the cars available for shipping.
