Doc,

Are you still window shopping, or are you truly interested in this car?? If it's the first, feel free to PM me your telephone number, and I'll put you directly in touch with the owner.

BF: I believe that is what was accomplished, with the owner/driver in place and a little more than half a tank of gas......But since I was not there, I could not be 100% certain.....

I don't think it is necessarily a complete waste of time.

I was trying to work backwards. The total weight is 2338. I decided that had to be w/o a driver (and no one will tell me otherwise). A calculation of the corner weights with no driver but with fluids (gas, oil, et al) would tell you something about the car that you could take to the next level based on your experience and your personal weight.

Yes, I was trying to dig further into the car. A seller that could spit those numbers out probably has a better feel for the car than someone who hasn't bothered to corner weigh it all. I only asked since the original post quoted that the car had been "corner weighed". If that had not been mentioned, I wouldn't have asked. I can tell you the exact corner weights of every track car I own. Since the pics were taken in the garage area of a race track, I was also digging into the set-up (to see if it had been "sorted").

I agree 100% that the corner weights w/ driver and equipment is much more valuable. But what if that driver is 225#'s and you are 175#'s? You would still need to re-balance the car.

I am sorry to ask all these questions. I thought it would help me decide if I should further investigate the car. **It would also help anyone else that may be looking at this post.**

Doc,

Only someone who wants to put the car on the track would be asking for the corner weights,. The car is indeed well sorted, and well taken care of by it's owner and builder. If you want it for a dual purpose vehicle, once again, I can put you in touch with the owner directly.

Doc,

You now have the contact information for the owner/seller of the vehicle. Feel free to contact him. You will indeed find him to be a no nonsense type of guy.

For those that would like to have the car inspected, the guy that has been used locally (he was used when I sold my 69 GT350 convertible to a businessman in Texas, and my 68 GT350 convertible to the doctor in Virginia Beach.) here in NJ is as follows:

His name is: Tony Monopoli,
His company is: AVM Automotive consulting.
