Default The infamous Red Cab is for sale! (long)

This car is aimed at the buyer who wants a great dual duty track/street car.
In under 45 min. this car goes from a PCA C class winner to a top down street car with killer sound system and cup holder. I would love to buy Glen's car and the wife wont approve both!! Car could be sold as a street only car but that means I have to take all the cool suspension stuff off, I would rather sell it as it is set up for the track with all the OEM parts as a spares package. I have no idea what I spent on this car but it would be close to 90K. This car set up with help for Carnewal,Rennsport systems,Perfect Power, Midwest Eurosports and the hundreds of posts from fellow rennlist members. If you have the track bug and want a daily driver this is the best of both worlds. $43,500.00 with all of the items below and all stock parts. Can work out a deal if somone wanted this car in street only form Serious inquires only please @ eric.cyranski@algx.com

I can resist because I don't want a red cab ... really, I don't want a red cab ... but those mods ... well, red is cool, not stealth like black, but ... OK I could live with red, but I really don't want a cab ... but those mods ...

I hope it sells fast, 'cause I really don't want a cab ... PLEASE - someone buy it soon.

Eric, if I remember correctly you recently crashed this car on the track. Are you selling it to buy a mint cab and start all over again or are you getting out of the 993 game all together?

He didn't crash it. He had his door dented by another car. I saw the damage. Very minor.

I saw much worse during the supercup race this weekend, and Porschephiles will pay full boat for those cars over the next few weeks.

By the way, how's your singing career coming?

New factory door going on next week, body shop said they could pull it but I thought it would look good on my garage wall! Another car put his front wheel on my door in a turn, not that big of a deal. I am not getting out of the game, I want a full on, no creature comfort race car. Living in Downtown Chicago does not give me much of a chance to drive the car on the steet without the worry of door dings, bumper damage, never getting out of second gear ect. Once you start racing, what you drive on the street really does not matter. Beating the guy in front of you does, AC,carpet and the worry damage to a pristine car kind of gets in the way of racing. If the car does not sell, I will run it again next season and when the price of high mile 993 coupes falls to 25K in a year or so, all the race goodies will get transfered and I can keep both!

So what are the plans post Red car? Did I miss something? Are you selling just to get Glen's car?
