I'll PayPal or venmo you 150$ if you do this.

C30 has about 8,000 miles on the 350 engine rebuild.
I spent about $4,000 on the engine, Summit Racing heads, headers.
NV4500 5-speed overdrive conversion was not cheap either, new bell housing and drive shaft.
Originally I was building the C30 as my support vehicle, but in several years I never made it to the events. Entry fees are so high now it may be cheaper to just risk tickets.
I need to put the FiTech back on, I fixed the header leak issue with some expensive gaskets and it has been checked over by FiTech so should be ready to go.
I have a lot of New parts I just have not been able to install, window seals, door gaskets, everything to rebuild the rear brakes, from wheel cylinders to shoes and drum$.
Also new radiator support and bumper brackets.
I just find the C30 a PITA to work on anymore. Should have made it into a tilt front.
With a little tuning it should be a great truck able to go anywhere.
My last trip in it was home to Willow Springs and back.
One MGB in the 8'x12' bed and another on the trailer.
THAT was a very Full load.
A few days ago a guy passed on the double yellow and chucked a rock into my windshield, big crack.
Arthritis is getting to be real, I want to concentrate on the Lotus, Dio Tipo, Locost, Alfa Romeo.......
Here is a heck of a deal, C30 one-ton and all parts, dual axle (But not for really heavy cars) car trailer with small winch, (It was made from a travel trailer, 5 tires about one year old!) Bugeye, and a rare round rear wheel arch Midget.
$8,000 for all. You may also cram in whatever loose Spridget rust-free body parts you like.
I have some unidentified roll-bars too.
That should be enough for me to buy the Morris and maybe put the Europa back together.
Selling the C30 seems to be the only way I will break my habit of acquiring more cars.
EDIT: Even better deal, $12,000 and take the Titled TR6 with a running engine instead of the 70 Midget.
Divide the spoils among yourselves once you get back to Challenge territory.
OK, a few pics in the rain.
I can take a lot more pics in the morning.
I have pics of the TR6 and parts.
Easier to send pics directly to your email.
Truck has hydro-boost brakes. I just rebuilt the dash cluster with new fuel gauge and bulb holders.
Catch 22 is that I need it to go get the Morris Minor.
In reply to RichardSIA :
Sorry I thought I replied but didn't. I don't see that C30 flipping easy around here. The TR6 maybe but I don't need a C30 sitting around.
Bugeye now traded away.
"Buyer" never came for it or paid the balance.
MANY attempts at contact remain unanswered.
Have to get the yard clean before winter.
