Title: Has Any One Seen This Around.
Post by: CHEECH on January 23, 2004, 09:20:21 AM

Hey PPL , I was just wondering if anyone has seen my old buggy around,There is a picture of it in the testing area (Test3) I dont know how to move it over to this post. This may just be a long shot since i sold the car 13 years ago,but if it is still around i would like to buy it back whatever shape it is in.


thanks shawn

Havent seen it since Super Sunday 3 in 1990 or so. I have heard that there is a customer who is building these to sell.

Jim says he knew who built that car in 85 or one identical to it, did you buy it that way?

Hey Geoff thanks alot . any more info on this would be great. im sure looking forward to starting my project car. btw is there any advantages to using the aluminum case over say an as41 or as21 case im looking to start soon and im currently looking for something. It is going to take a while to collect all the parts but im going to make sure i do it right.

thanks shawn

Hi Shawn, Give jim a call and he can tell you a bunch about the car.
As for the motor, Both will make for a great starting pont, the Alum is stronger but will run a little warmer due to the alum holding more heat than a mag case. We do now also have the new raised roof alum case, drop by and we can show you all the options.

I haven't been by there in a few months but that could be the car that's under a tarp on Buena vista (pretty sure, could be a block north) on the north side somewhere between Best and Stayte (sorry, fuzzy memory). I'll try to detour by there this afternoon.

Now if I could just come up with a smartassed comment so I can use this cool new smiley O0 , oh wait, I just did :laugh:
