Just put some stuff on eBay and the rest goes to Spring Carlisle in a few weeks. Shop remodeling made for a deep clean out this year. Ranchero project car is also on eBay, as the Edsel officially replaces it.

Tim,

Unfortunately, you spelled "Berkley" like the college and not the car. Hopefully you can change that. Otherwise you'll have to rely on folks using all the popular misspellings to find such an obscure item,

Call 'em as I see 'em...
The word in the listing are very good but the pictures are lacking. Maybe you know someone in the car photo business (or have a son) who could put forth the car better?

Again, the words are good but if a picture is worth a thousand of 'em...more pictures.

I've seen it when I dropped in on the GRM offices on Friday. It is nice.

Actually, "Berkeley" is the correct spelling. Gotta be the most-mispelled car name other than Camaro (or, as most people spell it, "Camero".)

Couldn't be sure so I took the "Berkley" spelling from the GRM wiki. you might want to change it there as well.

Thanks guys. The Ranchero is at $10,800 this a.m. with four days left.

Inane fact of the day... Berkeley is pronounced Bark-ly.

The JCW Challange MINI brake kit looks odd... listed as an R56 part, but the "This item fits all vehicles listed in this table " shows all R50/52/53 models.

Curious... How did you guys end up with that? For the R53 race car project?

You'll need to log in to post.
