I am new to these forums and thought I would post this for sale.

I am open to trades for this. I also an not afraid of a project or a car that needs some work. I am looking to get a 996 after this car. I will post more pictures when the weather clears up and I can pull it outside. If anyone wants to see something particular let me know and I can send something over.

I have spent the last two years building this car and have had it out on the track twice this year. However my plans have changed and as I want to continue doing track days I need something for the street as well. The car was built for NASA GTS 2 (restricted) or can run competitively in 3 as well. The car weighs 2650 pounds with ¼ tank of fuel.

The body is a 95 M3. It was a one owner car with only 70k miles on it. It was an unbelievably clean shell that was always kept in a garage. Every last square inch of this car has been meticulously gone through and in perfect condition. Pretty much every single part on this car has been upgraded with the highest quality parts or replaced with new OEM parts. Many parts have been custom machined and I still have the Solidworks models for them. It is 100% track ready.

The details of the build and I’m sure I’m leaving something out…

Nice race car! Can it also race with SCCA?

You should also post a link to this in the Racing and DE Forum.

bsewell

Thanks! It really is a blast to drive.

I really am not to up to date on the SCCA rules but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I know all the safety gear meets SCCA requirements.

cweed

Just would need an annual and would be ITE or maybe ITR in SCCA

bsewell

I am definitely open to offers on this. I am willing to work with you on price and anything else you may want done with the car. I am also willing to work with the buyer in the future if anything is needed.

bsewell

Price drop to $24k.

bsewell

I am taking this car to New Jersey Motorsports Park October 15 with NASA. If there is interest we can work something out with a possible test drive. I would consider working something out to let a potential buyer use it for ame HPDE day there (with some sort of deposit)

bsewell

This is going to be going on bring a trailer in a couple of days. Any offers will be considered before the audition starts.

What a great car - I'd buy this in a minute if my GT3 was sold. Good luck with this sale. If my GT3 sells you'll hear from me.

Glyndellis

Looks like the car has been pulled from the auction.

bsewell

I think we should just trade then!

bsewell

The car was actually sold to someone from this site.
