1999 Van and Trailer
from Rick...  I have been told that the van alone is worth 20 these days, but it is rusty and crusty but everything works.  7.3 Diesel, last of the good ones, 1999 before they went to powdered metal rods.  chipped E4OD rebuilt HD and Banks torque converter.  3.73:1 rear, which wasn't avail in the SuperDuty.  Van has gages, seats for (8 or less).  4 inch Exhaust and non catalyst from the factory.
The trailer is also 1999, it has 16 inch wheel/tire, but the tires need replacing. They are almost 20 years old.

Email RickByrnes@comcast.net

Feel free to ask questions... Rick, feel free to offer more info.

Sorry to see this Rick!

I have seen this car in person as its eng installation was being finished it's workman ship is art-- -it was displayed at one of the premier high end car shows in Cali!
 
Almost makes me wish I had switched to LS stuff  you couldn't do the eng for 50 K
Miss LIBERTY,  changing T.K.I.  to noise, dust, rust, BLUE HATS & hopefully not scrap!!

This is the best deal for getting into LSR I have ever seen. Where are you going to get a tow vehicle, Enclosed trailer, and a complete car for $25,000?  You are not so you better call, text, Email or PM Rick before it is gone.

Rick, hope everything with your health is getting better.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

SOLD
 
Well, as many of you that know me from my Merkur days and the years of travel to 200MPH club membership with a  "Pinto" engine, I don't give up easily.
BUT
My age and health are finally getting to me....
An illness in 2010 damaged my kidneys, and the loss of my son Jim to suicide I have never recovered from. Eventually my kidneys have failed and I am on dialysis for the last few years and the rest of my life.a e rest of my days.
This past summer began a battle called Bladder cancer.   A couple of surgeries, and a the first 6 week course of chemo is where I am.

SO
I have sold virtually everything I have relative to LSR to John McKnight of Scotsdale Az.
John is no newcomer to racing on the salt, as he worked with Sparky in the past. 

I wish John Luck in his pursuit of speed and will help in any way I can.

BUT I won't be going away.  Im limited in what I can do but still and will have SALT in my blood forever.

I wish you, for the way you have to go now, that you stay free of pain, so much as possible, that you can enjoy your days

and thanks for the great friendship all the years

a small memory of some great days at the salt

stay crazy
