Default Pro-Built SpecBox for sale: CHEAP!

OK, here’s the deal. My SpecBoxster is a professionally built example (Patrick Racing, Phoenix, AZ) that I acquired two seasons ago. I was in a largely cosmetic shunt at Lime Rock, which was repaired, but the body is less than pristine (photos are current). I campaigned it for two years like that, and continued to develop it. Alignment and all mechanicals are first rate, I just didn’t spend the money on paint. I put a lot of further development into it, (Apex Racing, NJ) and put a lot of (fully legal) tricks into it. It is now a fully competitive SpecBox in this highly competitive class. I am considering letting it go, as is, right off the track and relatively fresh, certainly turn-key, with spares and a trailer (if desired) for a great price. If it doesn’t go, then I will spend the winter getting it prettied up, but the price will also go up, if I don’t decide to keep it myself. So, if you are so inclined, now is the time to get on the front of the grid in SpecBox for way less. Car: $31,000 Trailer: $6500 Package: $36,000.

Build sheet, lots of photos available.
Car is on my lift at home, come and inspect it.

Great deal for a fully set up car. Could you say a bit more about the trailer?

Leaving SPB?

I'm considering stepoping out for personal reasons.

The trailer is a fantastic aluminum Motiv. Full floor, tire rack, tool box, jugs holders, and custom pit bike securities. Will include Race Ramp extensions and tie downs. Always serviced.

Will post pictures tomorrow. gotta run.

Trailer can sell separately AFTER car.

Post or PM me info and pics of the trailer when you get a chance. If I didn't already get a car would have been all over this package -- local too. GLWS!

I have driven this car as well as working with Frank to improve the car to its current spec. This car is ready race, is fast and predictable and can go to the front if you can drive it. When frank says the body is all visual, he is correct.

Here are a few shots of the trailer. I will not sell it before the car, for obvious reasons.

Thx. Thought it was an enclosed trailer. Already have an open Trailex. GLWS!

I was in this race and witnessed the hit. Wouldn't concern me in the least as a buyer. Great price for a fully developed SPB. GLWS.

Thanks for the support, guys. The Ken Hills photo up top shows how it looks, and I've campaigned it for two seasons like that. As I said, when I get around to painting it over the winter the price will go up, unless I decide to keep running it.
This is a short term offer.

C'mon Frank, you KNOW you will be sorry and Paolo will miss being out in the weeds with you!
