Jim F. Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just noticed that Suguino's custom built 7 is back on eBay for $69.9K. I've always admired the car as a purely sensational work of automotive art and if I had $70K of liquid, discretionary cash available right now I would acquire it. Design/build time, materials, labor, fabrication, etc., translates into a huge pile of dollars, and for the price probably a screaming bargain. Has anyone ever heard how much money he had in the car at the time of completion or at least a break even point? Only curious..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 At $70k its cheaper than a new one with far less spec. Wish I had the means to buy it. At that price you could afford to put it into regular use rather that just a garage queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowss7 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 You'd never get to drive it. You'd be polishing it all the time. By the time you finished you'd have to start again. It's a beautiful car, but I suspect taking out almost anywhere will result in the inevitable stone dings and road rash. Thus taking away from the purpose/beauty/value. IMO That being said I still like it. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkin42 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 A nice collection of cars to compliment the 7. Now if I could get a few of them in my collection, that would be nice, but that would take money so that ain't going to happen anytime soon.

Mondo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Didn't he have a trick truck/trailer set up to go with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If I owned that car I'd pick up a set of fiberglass, or better yet, some carbon fiber fenders/nose cone and drive the heck out of it. Save the aluminum stuff for shows. Didn't he have a trick truck/trailer set up to go with it? Yes he did, I believe it's a Volvo. Here's a couple pics I found: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Budlite Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks for the update Tom. I thought I had a better picture of it at home but couldn't find it. I do have quite a few detail pics of the car under construction though. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 This car is in my city! If anyone buys it I would be more than happy to deliver it for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
