11Budlite Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Now on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LOTUS-7-V8-PRODJECT-/230545072731?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item35ad8ea25b Looks like a fun project!
Off Road SHO Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Boy oh boy, if I could only get that across the country cheap enough, I would make him an offer on that bad boy. Tom
BrunnyS1 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Boy oh boy, if I could only get that across the country cheap enough, I would make him an offer on that bad boy. Tom I would not let that stand in the way. Make him an offer,who knows?
Off Road SHO Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 And what? He'll deliver it?! I wonder if all of that would fit in the back of a UHAul 3/4 ton truck? The cost of gas to drive all the way ther with my own truck would be huge. Tom
11Budlite Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 The high bid was $2225.00 but it didn't meet reserve so it didn't sell. I'm REALLY surprised it didn't bid higher....
glen Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 It ended early because I made him an offer for a trade that works out for both of us. It will be coming to MN by Thanksgiving.
11Budlite Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Congrats Glen, keep us updated on how the build goes!
Off Road SHO Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Congrats Glen. I so wanted that but couldn't come up with the scratch and solution to the logistics. You got a heck of a head start there. Now if I can only find something like that closer to home. Good luck. Tom
glen Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Thanks guys, it'll be quite a haul to go get it, but appears to be a great headstart, Dave obviously wasn't cutting any corners. Unfortunately I'm not quite ready to start on it yet, so I may have to keep it locked in the trailer until I finish a few other projects, but this should keep me motivated. I'll have a build log on locostusa when I get started.
Off Road SHO Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Unfortunately I'm not quite ready to start on it yet, . Let me know if you need someone to take it over for you...Before you haul it home. Tom
