Hi all,

I haven't been around for awhile due to some financial realignments. Being self employed is cool but sometimes it can get sorta hinky. Good news is the realignment was a huge success even though I had to really work for a change for awhile.

On to business....

(IMG:http://www.texasinterceptors.com/images/ff_b4c_speed.jpg)

3 years ago I was heavily involved buying police vehicles at auction and flipping them. Crown Vics, Caprices, SUVs etc. It was a great gig. I picked up a 96 B4C from the City of Ft Worth with that intention. Things went terribly awry from that point (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .

The car ended up becoming a full blown ORR participant... and a family project for myself and my 2 grown kids. That was the best part; doing it with the kids, going to the races and having those once in a lifetime experiences.

(IMG:http://www.texasinterceptors.com/images/cait3.jpg)



So why am I selling? Loss of interest pure and simple. Both kids are active duty military now and they would like race but that just doesn't work out too well. Old Dad likes to race but it just isn't the same without the kids.

Just listing this car is a monumental task because of all the mods that have been done to it.

Here is a URL to several pages that detail the buildup: B4C Build

The car is prepped and in race ready trim. It has participated in 6 ORR races and finished in each one. We ran the Texas Mile in it, an HPDE at Texas World Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway.

I don't want to take up a bunch of Kevin's badwidth with pics. You can see tons of videos and pictures of this car here:

Open Road Racing B4C

The car has not been stripped -- still full interior including working AC, lights, etc . Up until about 3 moths ago it had a current registration and inspection. IE street legal --- sorta.

Now to the rub-- you never get back what you have invested in one of these cars-- that is a given. The biggest bargains are cars that are sorted and ready to go and that is what this one is. I have north of $30k invested and would like to recoup half of that. So let's say $15k for the whole package.

Hi all,

I haven't been around for awhile due to some financial realignments. Being self employed is cool but sometimes it can get sorta hinky. Good news is the realignment was a huge success even though I had to really work for a change for awhile.

Wondered where you went....... those realignments suck. I lost a 69 Z/28 over one a those.

Damn, that thing has $10000 worth of race parts on it.

No one is responding because we don't want to lose you.

Bock,

Good to hear from you and thanks for the kind words.

$10k wouldn't touch it. The Unbalanced Engineering stuff was around $2k and the engine was built by a Pro over in Longview. There is $10k right there.

I wish Mitch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) . Ths shop up north is lonely and getting full of cobwebs. I have been working onsite - Mineral Wells, Hamilton and now Huntsville since Aug 1. Money is good and I live in my RV right there but there is no time or opportunity for piddling.

This is me. I think my top speed right now is about 11mph but I have lotsa torque.

[mitchntx]

I've pushed a little dirt in a 12L ... fun, but definitely a different rush.

Last I heard cars don't eat and cobwebs dust off ...

You are a 3.42 gear away from a damed competitive TT car.

[Stang Killer]

Just get a car cover for now, im in college and don't have time for the car, but I know time I get rid of it ill want it back.

[trackbird]

Guys,

I drove this car at Nashville Superspeedway. It's a well sorted rocket. I have to say that I was truly impressed with Andy's toy and can tell you that this car is a giant head start if you want to build an LT1 4th gen. And it does "haul the mail" (and it sounds wicked too!).

Thanks Kevin!

If anybody wants to cross post this classified to other boards they are active on, I would appreciate it. I just feel funny jumping in the middle of somebody else's sandbox with a classified. Talked to my daughter today who is stationed in the Azores Islands. She said " Daddy, list on FRRAX first. At least they will appreciate it for what it is and understand all the sweat and money that has been poured into the car."

Mitch,

It already has 3.42 gears. Gives it a real jump off the corners at 120+.

I'd drive it..... The cage (roll bar) and seats are not the best for daily use, but it could be done.

[CrashTestDummy]

Yeah, my other DD is a 92 B4C, with Koni yellows, so stiff suspension is not a problem. I rather like the seating position of Kirkeys, too. An automatic, and A/C IS an issue, though, as the commute is long, hot, and deals with traffic.

Hmmmmm.

[AndyJ]

Nice. And you say the A/C works? I wonder how that'd do as a daily-driver, too?

It is way loud Gene. I took it to about one car show/meet per week and always drove it if it was dry. Those KDs suck in the rain.

[trackbird]

Yea, but it sounds GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT.

[AndyJ]

Ok Guys,

I am wanting to close the Shop north of Dallas and I need to find a home for this car to do that.

I have been involved in some interesting trades in the past so start thinking "Cash Plus????"

I have use for:
4x4 UV like a Kawasaki Mule or Polaris.
Small enclosed trailer 12-14ft
Guns esp anything in 45 Auto
Suzuki Samurai
3rd gen F Bods
LTx Corvettes
Be creative!

I have no use for porn collections, mind altering drugs, GF's you are tired of or taxidermied animals. Everything else is pretty wide open. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

One time I had a '95 F bod that I let go for a pittance and I got a beating on here for not 'letting everybody know'. Somebody is gonna get a helluva deal on this car.....

[Milkman]

Andy, say it ain't so!! I heard it was forsale, and I just couldn't believe it. I do know that the best part of the ORR for you was doing it with your son, but you could find a place to store that sucker for a while and get back into it later!

Agreed, someone is going to get a hell of a car here.

Glad to hear you're doing ok Andy! Been too long,
-jeff

[trackbird]

GF's you are tired of...

Damn, so close and yet so far away.....

You're really tempting me Andy. You did say 3rd gens (though I expect you want a streetable one).

[StanIROCZ]

That is a really good deal. If I could do it all over again I'd buy someone else's project instead of droping a fortune making my own.

The elusive Milkman surfaces! How cool is that? Jeff, it was just a combination of things that led to the decision; the biggest one being the kids being flung to the far corners by Uncle Sam. Good to hear from you too!

I always tempt you don't I Kevin? Yeah, a streetable vehicle is what I need. Giving up the shop with 2 bays and a lift and moving everything into a double garage in my slice of Suburbia doesn't lend itself to projects very well.

I'm not that elusive. I'm interrupt driven! Bzzzzt. Read email. Bzzzzt. hello this is Jeff. Bzzzzzt. 2pm appt is here.

There is the "blah blah blah ORR blah blah" and I think "What's up with Andy, I should say hi" but no other interrupt exists.

I'm too old to keep it all straight in my head.

But I'm glad you're doing well, sad that this chapter is ending, but happy that there will be another chapter and another cool race car!!!

We are a bit more mature crowd here Wolfgang. 60 is not geezer age at all -- I am 52. One of my good friends started to ORR race 2 years ago at 62.

What do you want out of your car? Color? Hardtop or t tops? Miles? 770 is Georgia area code right?

Yes, there certainly is. But with the advent of Ebay and message boards we are capable of buying someone elses project, taking off the parts that you don't like, and selling them for usually 50-75% of the original purchase price. That pays for the things that you want to do/change.

I don't think it would be too hard to sell your shocks and a few other items on this forum (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The color is pewter, interior is charcoal - you know - almost black. I installed quality sheep skin seat covers at about 5K miles. So leather is as new. Car has about 62,400 miles. Always changed oil every 3000 to 3500 miles with sybthetic oil. advantage of having my own shop. It is a T-Top . Also has 10 disc CD player in left rear. Yes the phone # is Atlanta area. I live NE in Buford. Call anytime to get more info if necessary. I don't type that well. Old guy Wolfgang

Enjoy Thanksgiving and look for a call Friday. I lived in Newnan for quite sometime --southwest side of the Big A.

OK everyone,

The weather has curtailed the dirt excavation for the time being and I have taken the next 30 days off. One of the things that has to be done is vacating my shop prior to Jan 1. This car is in th shop so it has gotta go.

$9000 cash with all the spares and stuff ready to go.

This has got to be the Santa deal of the century.

[infectus]

I don't have the money, but I'd love to get this car!! I wish my dad was a road racer instead of a drag racer, then he could get it haha.

[StanIROCZ]

Wow. Superb deal.

30 days? You only need about 5 to pull the car apart. Then the rest of the 30 to sell off the goodies. There's easily 9G there. Still got the stock parts?

[AndyJ]

Stan,

The car would just be a shell at that point. It spent 132k miles in service with the Fort Worth PD. Everything on it was bent, broken, holed or taped up. The stock stuff was worn out crap and went to the scrap man.

It would be a shame to break this car up and sell it off for parts with everything in top shape and ready to go racing!

[trackbird]

Andy's right, it would be a shame to tear it down.

SOMEBODY BUY THIS CAR!!!!

You won't be sorry....

It would be a shame to break this car up and sell it off for parts with everything in top shape and ready to go racing!

I 100% agree, however at some point money is money, and it's your money.

Back Around 1975 I had a '67 Jaguar XKE. The 4.2 liter straight six was toast and I dropped a little balanced Ford 289 and 4 speed into it with the help of a kit. Many, many times I wished I had kept that car but at 18 or 19 years old, I was just not that bright.

Over the weekend, I talked to my 20 yo daughter who is USAF stationed at Lajes Field, Azores and she made a good arguement to keep the car. Then this morning, John sent me an PM basically saying the same thing. I can't stand in the face of such logical pressure and plus John's Pay It Forward oil pan is on the car.

The car is OFF the market, I will store it in the temp controlled basement of my commercial building until such time I feel the need for speed. I have always wanted to try it on the Salt Flats..........

YES!!! I'm so happy that you're going to keep it!! YES!!!

I never wanted you to sell in the first place!! That's awesome news!!!

If you drink enough beer (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) you can talk someone into almost anything (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

Hi Andy, Shame I couldn't make the trade + cash happen. But as your friends said. Good Move keeping car!!!!! Wolfgang

[StanIROCZ]

I'm glad you're keeping it Andy (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[AndyJ]

Thanks for all the encouragement folks. Of course, if you have a car like his you gotta drive it so I am going to have to figure out some events to go to.


Oh yeah, buy my Suburban. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

Hi,

Not been on here in a long time, so joining in this thread way too late. Glad you've decided to keep you car, it's never nice to see someone selling something they have put so much time and effort into.

I realise it's not for sale anymore, but if you ever feel like selling it again, drop me a PM - Your asking price was extremly fair. Coming from the UK it REALLY would much, much easier to buy something already done - paying all the import tax on every single imported component sucks, buying a second hand car is much cheaper on import tax and shipping a complete car is not much more than shipping some headers and Y pipe. The only caveat would be it would take a few weeks to sort out the pick up / shipping of the car.
