We're supposed to be buying old circle track cars to make road racers out of, yes?

This popped up less than an hour away.  I really want it.

Don't you have to buy it or change your screen name?  You could make a Trans Am period correct replica out of it or a Bobby Allison road race replica.....  so many choices.  I saw Bobby Allison race a Matador in this paint scheme at Texas World Speedway when I was a kid.

I'm frantically trying to figure out all the logistics. I don't have a trailer and I'm out of garage space. Been messaging friends all morning...

What  he said!

Not sure whats up, but that pic makes me nauseous. Paint? Waves in the bodywork? Both? 

I still want it bad.

Looks spray painted.  And being a circle track car, I'm sure it isn't laser-straight.

The photos were taken with a potato actively being run through a combine harvester in the rain.

Just go put a deposit on it and I'm sure the buyer will give you a couple days to figure out the logistics of getting it picked up.

enablers unite! 

Those are stealer pics. I know the ad says nothing else is for sale but there is an impressive collection of stuff in the background. That seems like a really fair deal on anything that rolls in todays market.

I mean if you were a dude with a YouTube channel and some charisma you would think you could get some mileage out of this purchase....

In reply to COUGAR :

From the grandstands they look great. And Krylon is  cheap and easy to match. 

Dude, you need this. At the very least, its a good start assuming the cage was done well. 

And, Hoosier f40 circle track slicks stick amazingly well.....

If it was closer to me, I would be  driving it at Hallett on my birthday this year. Well in March that is. 

So what's the best way to load a roller onto a trailer?

I learned the answer to this question from Stampie. Here's my copy. 
 

Hammer store ATV winch, mounted on a scrap piece of 2x8 hardwood. The U brackets are for securing it with a chain, etc. The straps are to take some of the load off of the wood. 
 

Not shown is the 12V lawnmower battery and milk crate, and a strap. 
 

It easily pulled the Morris Minor on with a flat tire and a stuck caliper.

Yes exactly what Mrs Jav said. She wants to build a 3 bay shop first THEN buy more cars.

I'll bet that seller would be willing to deliver it.

Talk him out of the Toyota in the back for me.

My LeMons VW GTI is a recovering circle track car.

brakes or no brakes? Hill or no hill?

winch? Snatch block 100ft of good rope and a second vehicle?

Buy the varsity team a pizza?

Last resort is daisy chaining come-alongs or re-rigging a short one multiple times. Slow but easy to solo.

That car is just horrible.

Did you buy it yet?

Pfft that's like skipping sex until you're ready to have a baby 

While you are at it, Send the barracuda my way. I'd love a later A body barracuda.
