I just spent over $150,000 building my wife a B-Class lakester that she doesn't like so we are now sellng it at a loss.  Asking $120,000.  Car is equipped with a Chevrolet 383 stroker that is turning approximately 800 hp.  Powerglide transmission that has been built and dyno'd to 1300 hp.  Ford 9" racing rears with 3:07 gears.  locking racing axles.  Brand new Mickey Thompson Bonneville LSR tires rated at 500mph +.  Billeted aluminum wheels.  Engine was built to be as bullet proof as possible.  H-beam rods, Forged Mahle pistons, Dart heads, Roller cam, solid lifters, oversize pushrods, crank trigger, fully geared timing system (no belts or chains), Fast fuel injection that self adjusts to altitude and weather, electric fuel pump and water punp.  Body and cooling systems built by C&R Racing (supplier to NASCAR and the Indy car circuit)  Driver helmet air induction system, electronic shift that can be set for desired RPM.  Custom built chassis by Ellis Racing, Fortville, Indiana.  Due to not having dual parachutes and properly rated tires, car did not pass tech last year and was only allowed to make a shakedown run.

For some reason, cannot post photos.  email me at photio@aol.com for photos and additonal information.

I know it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind....if it were my wife, I would then ask her to kindly drive the push truck for me.

Nice lakester, looks like it has the best parts available. Sorry to see you selling it.

Question, does this car have a run history, seems if it did it might bring some interest for the high price you are asking. It's a nice looking car. Just wondering, I do not want to sound like I am knocking it because I'm not.

The car was run once at Bonneville last year.  When we took it out, it did not pass tech for the class that it was in and they only let us do a shakedown run on the 150 track.  (The issues with tech were the tires, we only had one chute, and we only had one fire extinguisher.  All have been corrected and the car passed tech this year at ECTA event) When we ran a shakedown, the shifter cable broke and we never got out of first.  Car still ran 186 mph according to computer.  Fortunately, the rev limiter kicked in and the car slowed to mid-140's before going through the trap.  Since last year's visit to Bonneville, we had the cooling system revamped by C&R and also had them put on a new skin, wings on the front axles, and air intake.  According to them, their changes gave us 30 more HP and the wings gave us another 10mph.  No proof of these promises since Bonneville got rained out this year. I can tell you that with the current configuration, we are using 3:07 gears and the engine will take off in 2nd gear (2 speed powerglide) without bogging down.  The car handled wonderfully at 186,  but we have no evidence of what it will do at higher speeds or with the new skin.  The engine is built as bullet-proof as I could make it.  Over 50 grand in the motor alone.  Hope this helps.  There is a video of our run last year with the old configuration.  Google "Maiden run of the Landshark and go to the video that is listed.  With volume up, you can hear the engine and hear the rev limiter kick in at the end of the run.

My math says the rev limiter must have been set to 7000... what will that thing rev to?

We had rev limiter at factory setting of 9600 rpm.  She hit it.  There is a video of that run where you can hear the engine shut down at the end of the run.  The video shows the old skin and configuration of the car, but gives you an idea.  To reach it, google: Maiden run of the Landshark.  It will come up and you can click on it.
