Send me a selling price with and without motor.

I've wanted that car for a long time as my Drag Bug, we probably talked about it 2-3 years ago!  :lol:

i believe that is buddy hale's old 55. it now belongs to jimmy-cant remember his name right now-the deaf guy who lives down in the pnw. i emailed him a couple of times and tried to talk him into hauling his butt and the car up to the gcvws, but he copped out. he seems like a good guy.

really nice car and it looks like he's going through it. new tranny & wheels, etc.

yes, it is buddy hale's old car.  that would be awesome if you could convince him to bring it up next year.  isn't the car in washington now?  Its a BEAUTIFUL machine.  NONE like it in My opinion (just look at that decklid  :wub: )

do you know if he still has the 2387cc in there?
