I received the rebuilt turbos from John Craig at Limit Engineering a couple of weeks ago. Got the car running over the weekend. I will offer the same deal as before with one exception, the price is reduced to $39,500.00. The car is the current record holder at 240.9 mph and went 248.8 mph last summer at Speedweek.

Gary, are you building another vehicle for Bonneville or are you finished racing there?  We hope you have another vehicle in mind. :cheers:

Troy, I already have the GMC engine built. It will be turbo charged and EFI, will run XO/BGALT. I have to sell the Stude first.

I hope I don't get into trouble by SSS for moving this to the top. I would make the same deal as before on the sale of the #787 Studebaker. Quoting Don Pennington, "the #787 Studebaker is the fastest stock bodied car".

Troy, Don Pennington wrote a book entitled, 219 Studebaker's Favorite Son. It is a book about Bruce Geisler. Yes, the plan is we are going to SW, we are going fossel hunting on Thursday in Wyoming, then arrive on the salt around noon on Friday.

Had bad luck again with the turbo, lost the left one at the 4 mile. I am retiring from land speed racing. Will sell the car as a roller for $15000 or complete for $30000. Also have -20 suit, boots, gloves and other safety items. Email garyhartracing@yahoo.com or phone 417-742-3068
