Wow, really very nice rebuild of a car that suffered some fairly significant damage on an off road excursion into a pasture fence post that ripped off one of the front wheels and crushed the headers and as you can see significantly damaged the hood that sent the car to Copart as a salvage piece. The person I sold it to who is a really nice person and a competent driver had already received the funds from a buyer (that he immediately returned) and was taking it to the pickup point and wanted one last blat unfortunately on a rain slicked road. I am including a picture of the car when I owned it in Florida and it was around Christmas time which was not very cold in Central Florida near the coast.

I loved that car. Did Scott Minehart build you another front hood? The car looks amazing! Anaximander, former owner of this car that ended up in a Copart temporary storage lot for sale as a wrecked car.

Wow, my former beautiful Stalker XL that Beardy McWeirdy wrapped around a pasture fence post lives again! Yay!

The distance between the fender supports is 80". Each of the platforms is 26" wide. The opening between the two platforms is 28". The tire stop that I had welded on the front is 5" from the front of the trailer's leading edge to prevent driving off the front. The distance from the front stop angle pieces to the back of the trailer is approximately 13 feet.

Good question. I will drive to my storage area and take the measurements in the next day or so. I will also report the dimensions of the open area in the middle and the width of the drive-on platforms.

Here are additional views of the newly reconditioned tilt trailer that would be ideal for your sevenesque car:

For sale is a completely gone-through Brunton Auto tilt drive on trailer than can easily hold up to 1800 pounds and rides like a dream. It was originally created for the Super Stalkers but was later modified by Scott Minehart to accept the long/wider wheelbase of the M-Spec Stalker XL's. It has new wiring, new electric brakes, new wheels/tires with a matching new tire/wheel spare. In the past week, my custom trailer repairmen removed the rust spots and applied a special metal bonding flat paint to the entire trailer. The trailer is equipped with Torflex Axles which are much smoother than leaf springs and will not bounce your se7en down the road. The trailer weighs approximately 550 pounds, uses a 2" ball hitch and Price is $3500 F.O.B. Tallahassee, Florida.

Well, the saga did not end with the last post. Two weeks ago I went in for lumbar area back surgery and am happy to report that I am recovering well most days. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that at my advancing age that golf, hard-core race cars, astronomy with large equipment, motorcycles and even camping with a trailer are not the most advantageous activities for my old bones. So, up popped a nice fellow who had shown interest in buying the Stalker XL Classic and it went off with him in his 24" Pace trailer this afternoon. It was a bittersweet parting knowing that it was going to someone who is a former HPDE instructor and is used to high-performance driving. OTOH, it is a bit of a sad day because I have come to realize that some aspects of aging are encroaching on longstanding fun activities and I am having to accommodate the realities. I will continue to enjoy the wonderful people on this site but will be moving on to other adventures. I am excited to see what the future brings? Anaximander aka Bob

Well, This supercar like performing Stalker XL and newly painted trailer at this time is no longer for sale. I had a trailer repair company address the rusty metal bits and then had them repaint the trailer in the flat black specialty bonding paint. It is time to enjoy it on blats and take it autocrossing in the XU class (street unlimited with DOT 200 tires) of SCCA.

Mike, PM sent with my contact information. The trailer has been undergoing a further refurbishment. I am pretty compulsive when it comes to my equipment

I am having the Stalker Tilt Trailer sandblasted and repainted in the coming weeks by the trailer repair company that redid the wiring and added the electric brakes. The trailer will essentially be like an almost new trailer, especially with the Torflex axle as opposed to a leaf spring suspension that is like a pogo stick. I am not sure at this point that I want to sell my beautiful ensemble?

Road-Racer, I PM'ed you with my phone number. There are several options for delivery of the car/trailer depending on where you live in Nevada. Text me your number and we will discuss. This is truly an incredible car/trailer combo and I would love to see it in the hands of somebody that has what looks like a Formula V type car. You are used to high performance and incredible handling.

Dear performance enthusiasts. I have decided to lower the total ensemble price to $38k for a combination that would be about 90-$100k to replace in this current inflationary cost world and to get any dreamers off the fence and into a fabulous car. At just about 77 year old, I have decided to let a younger set of hands have some fun. If you are looking for a se7enesque car that checks all the boxes and will make you the envy of many of your friends and neighbors who will want rides. This is one very real opportunity to get a nicely sorted, pretty fresh car (especially all of the mechanicals) that you are able to get and simply drive across the country and/or if you want to do some minor cosmetics like a paint change, cockpit freshening, or trailer beautifying, you will be getting a car that will provide years of fun and joy in a custom super high performance car than you drive around your community or take to cars and coffee or your local track. Hagerty auto insurance loves these cars and I stated the value for the car alone at $40k which is frankly about $5k undervalued for just the car, but I like Hagerty Insurance and they have insured all of my specialty cars without hesitation. The trailer replacement would be at least $5k so essentially, you are getting a very nicely sorted factory built custom Stalker XL for $33k. Current clear titles and registrations for both items are in my safe and ready for handoff. The first person who says "I will take it" with cash in hand and has already cleared it with their significant other gets this prize! You can come to Tallahassee, we will load the car onto the Stalker XL tilt trailer with all new running gear including electric brakes on the trailer and you will be taking home a treasure. Addendum: I took the Stalker on a 135 mile blat yesterday on 4/10/26 with absolutely perfect Spring weather along the rolling hills of North Florida/South Georgia and the car was so much fun that I am beginning to really not care if I sell it or not. It is so fun to drive that even with my screwed up back, the joyous sounds during acceleration/deceleration of the crate engine GM LS3/480 and the feel of power in my hands was just so much fun! I stopped at an AutoZone next to my accountant's office and the car was swarmed by store employees and customers taking pictures of themselves with the car. What a hoot.

Seven lovers, I have reduced the selling price of the car and trailer combination to $38,000. Why buy a 200hp car when you can have almost 500hp? Yes, Bruce Beachman's 300hp CSR has more peonage than my 500hp Stalker XL but is over x3 the cost. Plus, if you are a taller or larger person, I assure you that you will fit in the Stalker XL a lot easier. The excess horsepower is frankly, as Beardy McWeirdy pointed out, almost to the point of silly but judicious use of your brain connected to your right foot and the fact that the car inherently wants to track where you want to go makes it a tremendous hoon car in our beloved Croc's parlance. It is one of the reasons that I have owned so many M-Spec Stalkers. If you start to get sideways in the least, all you have to do is let off for a moment and the car straightens out like it is on rails. Due to the wheelbase and state-of-the-art cantilever front and rear shock functions, the car rides smoothly for a high performance car and as I stated in another post, the designer, Scott Minehart had stated that he would want a Stalker XL for his street car due to the nice ride. The car rides so well that someone reportedly did the four USA corners tour in a Stalker XL and had a great time on the trip according to Glen Minehart, the father of the designer/manufacturer of the car. One of the very useful facts about owning a high-performance se7enesque car sourced exclusively with USA sourced parts is that now and in the future, should a minor repair be needed on the car, all of the parts are readily available in the USA. Additionally, since all of the components were brand new at time of manufacture with only about 6500 total miles, all of the components were specifically designed into the car's development making it a superb and reliable performer. Unfortunately, these current times of supply chain disruptions due to all kinds of geopolitical uncertainties make this hand built, proven roadster, sourced with parts you can get down at the auto parts store a big plus in terms of hassles related to ownership. If you are looking for a car that you are not going to have to do a lot of mechanical fiddling on, this Stalker XL, assembled by the manufacturer/designer and recently inspected and worked on by the manufacturer should give you great confidence that you are buying a car that is going to be both exceptionally fun and reliable. Spring is right around the corner for most of you who do not live in Florida. Great time of year to be in an open cockpit roadster especially at this incredible price!

If you are interested in buying this beautiful Stalker XL Classic and my Stalker XL open tilt trailer, please PM me with any questions you may have. I would prefer that you PM me if interested in doing that and supply a phone number where you can be reached. We have scammers lurking on our website and I do not want to provide my phone contact information and would only like to hear from credible members of our forum with a history more than a couple of days. Thanks, Dr. Bob
