Almost as soon as I sold the Excal I knew I had screwed up. I bugged the guy for months to sell it back to me. He finally relented AFTER I kicked in a few thou "profit" for him.
So why did I want it back so bad? It's a nightmare registering a "Cobra" over here. Even a "real" SAI alum Cobra (CSX4000 and up) will face the same hurdles (read that, CANNOT BE DONE LEGALLY)!
Being as the Excal is a "real" car (DOT and FED approved), it's as easy as any other "real" car. As I want to be totally "legal" it was really the only option I had as far as owning a "Cobra" here in OAHU. No problem on the outer Islands, just Oahu.
I am driving it now and grinning ear to ear. The Excal does however need some serious work. I drove and raced it HARD and sold it before making repairs. The new owner didn't do anything and drove it very little. The headers are cracked, the posi is shot, the rear shocks are gone, etc. You gonna "race, you gonna "break stuff".
The Classic Roadster has 1400 miles on it, PERFECT condition, EXCELLENT DV built car!!!! It is at DV's place in Ohio. As I won't be shipping it here, the car is for sale ($31K, pics in my gallery, blue with white stripe car).
The Fling??? Still don't know if I can get away from work this summer. It's our most busy time.
