Newbie needs assistance and direction re: Streamliner Build

[newbie2]

I would greatly appreciate the input from all the knowledge here on this site.  I want to start looking into the cost of either buying a proven motorcycle engine based liner, or would like to be put in touch with someone that has interest in building one at some point.  Can ya help a newbie out?
  Thanks in advance for any assistance

Are you talking a two wheel or a four wheel liner? Where are you located? A little more information might help you get started on this project.

Denis Manning has one for sale...it's been over 360 mph...

It would help to also state abut how much you would be willing to spend for an already established liner and how fast you are hoping to go?

Newbie2.... I built a four wheel motorcycle powered streamliner a couple years ago using a ZX-10 engine. This was my first landspeed car build and I learned a lot of what to do and not do. Since my budjet was very small cost was a big issue for me. Your cost will be decided on how fast you want to go and how much of the work you can do your self. I will be glad to offer any info from my build if you wish. You can contact me at joxford@charter.net.  Thanks........ Jerry O

This was a truly awesome build and the car was run successfully this year by it's new owners.

  I would suggest that you contact the Purple Sage Trading Post and talk to the owner.
 He has moved on to more important thing's and has a very nice streamliner  waiting for a new owner...................   Look back in our site's archives for more info............. Bob

  Kent, worse than that, I forgot Sum's name................. this alzheimer's suck's...............

[Glen]

I didn't know it was for sale

[Bob Drury]

  Glen, I don't either, but the last time I spoke to Sum, he seemed very happy about his current life, and unless something change's, his life now is about a very nice Lady, and sailing into the Sunset.
  I wish him the best, and hope that we all can be as happy as he seem's..............  Bob

Bob
I talk to him every couple of months and he said he wanted to finish and run next year.

[Bob Drury]

  Glen,  I hope that that is what happen's.
   For those of you who are newby's, Sum helped make this site what it is Today.
  He was the first to do a "Build Site" and walk us thru a step by step how to.
  Sum is a very intelligent and humble person who made it easy to learn as he learned, and taught a lot of us that even though we are not "Craftsmen", we could build our dream............
  I wish him the best, and hope to see him in Impound................  Bob

I have been watching Sumners stuff for years, even before I posted much here. Mutual friends. Like to see him back in it!

I think there is a streamlined bike in Wichita that could be bought for the price of a couple of Black Shadows... you never did say if you wanted 2,3 or 4 wheels, get specific and you might find something... money really can buy rent happiness
