Tom,
I thought you were going to buy my motor? (just kidding)
I hope everything is OK, I am surprised you have put your car up for sale. I hope it sells fast. Any other plans or are you getting out for good?
Tom G. (the other one)

Hello Tom,
I gave some serious thought to your "D" engine. The price seemed right for a good El Mirage motor, but being on the edge for the long pulls @ Bonneville just didn't figure in my plans.
I still haven't made any firm decisions on my car. This is kind of an exploratory thing. I'm not planning on building another car. Still have a couple of street rod projects to complete before I get to old to enjoy them.
Anything more on your?
Best wishes,
Tom

Glad to hear it is not medical related. I agree about enjoying the other aspects of Hot Rods. I just got my 10 footer back on the road after being in storage for 12 years. ( my car looks great from 10 feet away LOL )
I am going to try and take the Roadster to El Mirage for the July meet and see if anyone might be interested in it.
Thanks,
Tom G.

Hi Tom,
I know what you mean. I have a 5 footer '57 Chevy. Runs good, but no show car.
I'm not sure exactly where you are located, but you might also think of taking your Roadster down to the Long Beach Hi Performance Swap Meet.
You could probably get some good exposure there.

Just a couple of pictures. Can't tell much from the avitar.
-
Where were you guysw when I started my lakester!?!?!?! Both roadsters are smokin deals. Wish I was not so far along!
-
I didn't mention it in my first post, but I am not adverse to trades of comparable value. Street Rod, Hot Rod etc.
I am going to take a couple more detailed pictures and post them tomorrow.
Tom

Trade you for a 250mph LSR Busa... :cheers:
-
John,
It would probably be cost prohibitive because of the reconstructive surgery to have my balls enlarged!
Tom
-
Wish I had cash or something to trade. Looks like a real nice car, to bad I am moving and the cost of 2 houses prevent any fun purchases.

A couple more pictures:

Another,

How tall and heavy is the current driver? Just wondering if I might fit . . . .
-
6'2" and 250 pounds (also age 66).
Some other information that might be helpful: the roll cage is 24"s wide at the shoulder bars (main hoop). The dimension from the seat to the top of the roll cage is 38"s.
I modified the cage twice to get the right fit and ergonomics.
I once sat in the car fully suited and strapped in at El Mirage for about a half hour waiting for the wind to die down. It was a November 2 day meet so the suit actually felt pretty good. The race that day was cancelled but I had a #2 starting position the next morning. My point is that the car is comfortable for a guy my size.

Well, I'm going to try this again.
From the subject line it may have sounded like I was trying to sell everything as a package. While that would be good, it was not my intent. If I sell the Roadster then I can sell the trailer, then truck.
I'm reducing the price on the Roadster to $12,500.
If you are interested in coming to look at the car I will work with you on transportation costs and /or local transportation.

Tom,
Don't give it away. LOL. This is a great deal for someone. Hurry at this new price it won't last long.

-
Okay, I'll ask directly: Are you offering to trade your Nova for Tom's roadster? The two posts don't make it clear. Thanks.
-

Rooney,
A deposit check is in the mail for the Roadster/Truck and Trailer.
Jon, I'll be sending you some $$'s also for hosting this great site!
Tom
-
Thanks,if things dont work out i am still interested Rooney
-
Hi Tom,
I know this ad is over a year old and the string of messages ended with an apparent deposit and sale of your LSR roadster but just wanted to check to be sure it’s gone as I’m interested in buying an LSR roadster and your car appears quite nice based on the photos and was offered at quite a deal. If you could let me know status, it would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Terry

Hello Terry,
I probably should have posted the rig was sold and drove off into the sunset in March (actually it would have been the sunrise headed toward Oklahoma).
Sorry it took some time to respond, but the Wife and I are on an extended road trip. We went to the AHRA Reunion Drag Races at Mo-Kan Dragstrip just north of Joplin, Mo and hooked up with the new owner, John Erwin, who was running an Altered. Another friend and fellow D/STR racer came down from Kansas City for a day of racing.
Thanks for your interest and good luck in your pursuit of an LSR Car!
Tom
-
Thanks very much for taking the time out of your trip Tom to respond to my inquiry. Really appreciate the effort despite the disappointing but not surprising news. I will continue my search for an LSR roadster sooner or later will find the right car at the right price. Thanks again and drive safe,
Terry
