CBuff Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I know there is another Facebook group for sevens. Defer to others on any insights on them. But they also have an owners map with some more folks in that neck of the woods. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fsx6tcnc%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0sP7nUfjLjl-zK70HwBuVD_hsiAiXtMUxWiBzhlTood5RL2NqmiAtBZrs&h=AT1F2sWLUr9OhNoyTxvdiZnIJ8DkIi3F0Ff_1_jal3K0OModir0v6wEHT_qJ7Nlc2z_-kqCxYsZG59rm7dDoskSU2ALX3yb8YkSlhRcYpXVXePa80xWXVkrM3o2L&s=1&__wblt=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcollier Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Get it inspected. Get it inspected. Get it inspected. Put it on an alignment rack and see if anything is bent. These are used cars that people drive fast and often exceed their abilities. Things get banged, knocked about, and bent. A lick of paint can make a gawd awful pile of excrement look pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Barbox, I am surprised that you have not called me about my beautifully sorted and almost new Stalker Cars AXR? It is a little more than x2 the money as that seemingly kind of ragged out B Modified Locust but my Stalker is very much more refined with very conventional gear train. You can see my ad on the 2022 Stalker AXR. It will hands down eat that Locust for breakfast and is fully sorted with no stories. You can call the manufacturer, Scott Minehart at Stalker Cars and/or his father, Glen Minehart at 386-931-6435 and he can tell you all about it as a third-party person. If you want to ask ANY questions about my car for sale, you can call me and ask all the questions you would like and I will tell you exactly what is what. I have moved on to a new 2023 Corvette and at age 75, have decided to ride in more comfort at my age. You can call me at 850-491-2222 and just text me before calling so that I know it is not some solicitation call.

barbox Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 @thewebgal the Stalker listing is here: @Anaximander your Stalker is a beautiful car for sure! But I’ve been looking for a bike-engined car for a while now and this is the first one I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s probably a little rough around the edges, but for the price I think that’s reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SENC Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'm a solid 4-4.5 hours from it - but let me check my schedule to see if I'll be any closer in the next few weeks. That said, I'm 90% sure we have a couple active members in that area - I just have to remember the names/USA7 handles. Who was it that bought the very purple Caterham in just the last year or so? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SENC Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Just found him - @UglyFast - and sorry, I also realized it is violent violet, not purple. And I think from that thread @mrmustang is also from Upstate SC. One of them might be able to help or have a good contact in Fort Mill for you.

No, Actually, it is a low mileage (about 44k) L33 lightweight aluminum engine with Summit mild cam and all new valve train with the sought after aluminum heads. All of the accessories including the FiTech Ultimate Fuel Injection system and computer are new. The transmission is new ($$$) as are the internals of the rear diff and all other components. The car makes approximately 400 horsepower and in my video, I show taking off in second gear out of 5 gears for better off the line traction.

IamScotticus Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The seller should be willing to send you a picture of the items with a unique identification that you specify, like the item with two dollar bills in a cross pattern. Something that verifies the seller is in possession of the item, or has access to it. If they can't provide proof, walk away. It hurts, but these frauds are really good at stealing photos and making listing for things they don't have. And the old "selling for a friend" or dead relative, etc. I bought a carb and manifold from a seller in France. I asked for a unique identifier which the seller did. All went well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowdude Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Can echo the dreamer and croc. Bought the Cortina out of Louisiana without a ppe off Craigslist. I sent a check to the seller, who was cool enough to wait. The 7 I also bought sight unseen from the UK. I was in Alaska at the time and couldn't schedule time right away to see the car. I sent 250 as a sign of interest. The sellers were actually fantastic to work with- connecting over whatsapp from the arctic circle and really doing their best to show me the car in video etc. I had a friend in Ireland fly over to confirm the car in person too. Both times, I bought cars from low volume dealers. They each had about 8 cars or so in their inventory. The online places which show a lot of cars are sometimes too good to be true. Shipping was a bit different. For the Cortina, I used uship, which farmed out to a rando. It wasn't the best, but it worked. Paid after the car was delivered. International shipping was prepaid, got the car from the dealership in the UK to the port in NJ. I just drove it home from the port. International shipping included insurance for roro, if you use a crate, I'm not sure. Either way when you buy remote, you'll be sending money to a stranger. You can do everything and still get scammed. If it's a lot of money and you have time off you can take, it may make sense to fly out to the car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MV8 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 7 hours ago, Croc said: New Ads Found This Week Replica https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/326226250472080/ Seems pricey for a very nice, morgan-like structure of aluminum over wood sitting on steel rails. Looks spot on except for the nose mounting angle. Probably much less heat transfer to the driver but heavier. Not sure about the torsional rigidity.
