Bidding still going nowhere, maybe some snipers waiting. My clicker is twitching. I contacted the seller for more info...wifey would kill me, already one racer on a trailer in the driveway.

Well, it's a 'reserve' auction which is the most pointless waste of time in the world. Presumebly a serious buyer could contact him offline and work out a deal.

I would love to have the car but alas, I'm broker than I've been in many moons.

Colin, that is just MEAN! BUT FUNNY AS HELL! LOL!

Yea, she is wide...probably about like my race car...Mark A just did a nice flare with the existing Q panels on the race and the DeVore front flares like you see on this car for sale.

Also, the molds for those flares are still in the Devek inventory somewhere. I asked Marc about them once and he said if I needed fenders to let him know and he would have them pulled for me...I'd hate to have to wait on that, but it is good to know that the molds do still exist.

I've got room for one more on the lift if you want to keep it here.

edit: It might be too wide to fit on the lift.

Mike,

If it is the same width as my race car (and I am betting that it is damn close) it will be 6 or 8 inches wider in track at the front than an early car. My car BARELY fits on my Big Tex CH60 car hauler trailer. Not sure the inside deck width on that, but it is squeaky tight fit...not more than 1.5" to spare!

Our first SCCA race is next week. I heard the "Honda driver" has a new race car. (M3). I would be more than happy to ram this guy with this old racer, in revenge if you guys want.
