2006 Beck Speedster

Unfortunately for me, business circumstances make selling my beautiful baby a prudent decision. If you are interested in more info please PM me at: hacksaw57ATmac.com

Tom - YIKES!!! If the cost of doing business means off-loading a couple of toys, then unfortunately that's what you gotta do.

I hope it all works out.

Hi Tom;

This is Russ writing from Effort: You were nice enough to show me your Speedster etc etc @ the show you had this past summer; Remember?

WOW! I just can`t imagine Bus. being off that bad but what else around these parts is new!

To any parties interested in Toms car; All I can say is: "It`s the nicest one I`ve seen around"!

Wish I had the $$$;

Best Wishes;

Russ

Still for sale . . .

How much are you asking for your tub? Very nice build.

Will,

PM me: hacksaw57ATmac.com

I'll send you details if you're interested.

It's a sweet looking car, Tom, and I hate to see you sell it. However, I understand that a man actually CAN (under certain conditions) have too many toys.

Lane,

It's only temporary as my wife says I can get another in the future. I'm hoping Carey's "D" is a nice option down the road. But for now its the coupe or the speedy and once the coupe is sorted, it is one sweet all-weather ride (I hope). She hates to see the speedy go too.

Tom, it might be easier for all concerned if you drive the coupe down my way and give it to my P-car guy in Annapolis.
Let him bill John. You could use my VW to get home in, and hang onto it until Tif calls you back. I really don't mind driving the Sloppy Jalopy in the winter weather down here. Hell, it's practically tropical out. (21 degrees today under overcast skies. Mild wind from the ESE.)
Kelly's met him. Tif's a stand-up guy.

Tom, if yours is sold by Carlisle, I'll be happy to swap keys for a drive.

The Coupe IS going to Carlisle (better be sorted by then) and Lane I would love to swap keys and get a little wind in the hair time as well as your impressions of the green machine.

Cory - John arranged for Rocky C. to work on my car for me. We're just waiting for parts. Thanks for the offer. I'll keep Tif in mind as plan C - just in case.

I know I could count on you to do some solid "testing" before I get the car back home - just to make sure it was right - Yes?

I've had a few inquiries on the Speedster but not sold yet.

You bet'cha, Tom. I have such a good relationship with Tif that I actually took my car to him when it was in perfect working order just so he could enjoy himself for a change.
Big SEG after he drove it for a while. I wasn't with him.

Good luck with the sale! That Speedster is probably in the running for the nicest, best appointed 356 replica on the East Coast. Call if you need help.

Pardon me . . . Just movin back to the top of the list with this post. Still 4 sale.

Tom,

Car looks great. Love the plate in front!
I have a few guys looking for something used right now and will pass the details. Regardless, I don't think it will last long at that price.

Carey

is it still for sale?

Howard, it's a brilliant car. You could do a lot worse.

Still for sale. See link on post above.

Still for sale

$27,500 Takes it. Base on a 2008 is over $31k.

hacksaw57 AT mac.com

Asking $27,500

But . . .

Make me an offer . . . . I need to sell one of my cars . . . SOON!

Check the photo links in the posts above. Car is sweet and in great shape. Only issues are a blown bulb in one of my Marchal repro fog lights (I will fix) and a seam in the top that leaks in pouring rain (ask Chris Nichols).

I am a motivated seller.

The seam really isn't that bad. We were driving through a deluge, though, so it's not really a fair statement. :) Honestly, I was really surprised at how dry I stayed during a 2 hour drive through extremely heavy rain at highway speeds. Every place that might have leaked did, and the interior of the car was dry save for a few drips here and there. I've driven modern convertible cars that take in more water. Anyway, enough about its water resistance abilities.

I will say that Tom's convertible is a GREAT car. I had the pleasure of 4 hours behind the wheel, and I had a great time. It's incredibly clean inside and out, and whoever comes to look at it will buy it.

Hi Tom,

Since the shocking news of you selling your JPS & Speedster; I`m not certain if their sold or not? I`m guessing not.

Why not try ebay & or Craigs List & see what happens.

Wish I had the $$$ to even make a realistic offer on the Speedster!

Best Wishes,

Russ

I have to ask the question, does the car have the air conditioning option? What size engine does it have?

No AC.

1600 super 90.

About 6,400 miles on it. 10,200KM.

Bump. Need to sell . . . . any leads appreciated.

Hi Tom,

God I wish I had some spare change!

I have a suggestion. Why don`t you buy my house (-) the cost of your Speedi (Outstanding Investment Opportunity)!!! It would represent about $100K instant equity in approx. 1 year.

You get a really nice home (Rental would be approx. $1800 - $2000 per mo.) if you decided to choose that route. I would have my Speedi & be moving to the Up-State SC area. Its a "WIN-WIN" situation.

What do you think?

Regards, Russ

PS: I saw your Speedster on Samba & don`t understand why it has`nt sold? It can only be the $$$$$.

Car is sold. New owner is driving it to Wisconsin. Left today.

I'm fighting back the tears . . .

:-(

Tom---my sympathy---I am sorry things worked out for you the way they did. Although this door closed (slammed shut?) another one will open for you at some point.

Stay active on the 356 owners site and stay in touch with your many friends.----Jack

Thanks Jack . . .

No worries. I'm not going anywhere. Still have the green coupe and even if sell it too I'm addicted to this site and these cars.

Hey Lane, is your right seat still open for the dragon run?
Maybe I can get my wife to visit her sister in Columbia while we do the trip . . .
Hmmmmm.

Absolutely, Tom. I might even be convinced to trade seat for a bit.

Tom, my RV'ing/Coupe-fixin'/Speedster-selling Brutha!!

With all things considered, I'm glad you were able to find the right buyer for your Speedster. You do what you gotta do!

Hope you can keep making forward progress with the Coupe and that business takes an up-tic so that you'll decide to keep it after all!

Peace - Out
