NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE
$$$$$$$$$$One Last cut before it goes to eBay-- $9000 Cash $$$$$$$$ 12/15/07 ********PRICE REDUCTION $12,000.00 ******** 11/11/07 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. (IMG:http://www.texasinterceptors.com/images/tmile2.jpg) Most notable finishes: 1st Place 145mph Class 2006 Roadrunner Open Race 2nd place 130mph Class 2005 Roadrunner Open Rad Race 4th place 135mph Class 2006 Bonneville 100 4th place 145 mph Class 2007 Big Bend Open Road Race 2006 Texas Mile 157.8mph (IMG:http://www.texasinterceptors.com/images/B4C/2007/nashvegas/chris.jpg) Modification list: The '96 ORR car. SLP dual fan control switch. Garmin GPS 5+ and Garmin III Plus hardwired Bearcat scanner mounted in dash Fire suspression system with 2 nozzles in the drivers compartment Hard Mounted fire extinguisher Oil,diff and tranny temp gauges Kirkey Intermediate Road Race seats x2 ! rear seats !

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. This post has been edited by AndyJ: Dec 18 2007, 07:30 PM |

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? |

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! |

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.......... |

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) I can't drive two of 'em and this one is nicer. (IMG:http://www.texasinterceptors.com/images/new_burb/1.jpg) |

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. UKCamaroSS This post has been edited by UKCamaroSS: Dec 19 2007, 11:11 AM |
