I left the rear cage off (IMHO ugly white ) but it's included.

Allison Daytona dune Buggy sold today on BAT the high bidder came within $500 of the $15,000 reserve and at the close of the auction BAT tossed in the $500 to make up the difference and meet said reserve....

I was watching it, Alan! A great looking buggy, for sure. I hope you’re pleased with the sale.
Congrats so the next project is? …

...and maybe also to collect $725 in fees from the buyer?
A company with a heart...of gold.
Congrats on the sale, though!

Good for you, Alan.
Have you kept track of the geographic area all of your sales have gone to?
You need one of those maps with pins on it to show each delivery.
That is a good idea Bob, engineers do that with jobs.

If I did a pin map I would need to include Germany, Belgium, Australia and more . I do have two speedsters and a dune buggy within 10 miles of each other in Maui . Other than that, they are scattered all over. A small percentage have popped back up for sale over the years and other have disappeared from site. What's cool is the number of long-term friends acquired from the hobby. One " Jake " in Key West has just decided for me to finish a 2nd speedster project for him he just bought .
Bad winter up north is expected this year! You need to be a snow bird and winter in Florida. I'm in NW FL nd can be first stop! May be for more than 40 hours stop, Have the CMC Speedster plus a Dolphin T-Mod Shrinner dune buggy! I throw in a 5th floor condo along with boiled peanuts and fried okra and mullet!
I know you’re joking, Greg, but Al has offered (several times) to finish your car for you.
I’d take him up on the offer.
You’re not kidding, count the cost, have him finish it with new paint etc, then put it on BAT. I mean if your not driving it, a really nice full size poster in your garage would give you the same image 
and you would have money in your jeans. :_)
Neat looking buggy, Alan. What was the work order? IOW, what did you have to do?

I don't see how that could be possible, since you have now "retired" at least four times in the past four years. 🤣
But, hey..... It keeps you busy and keeps you young(-ish) so, What the Heck!
We just got an inch of snow here, but fortunately, the salt briners weren't deployed so it's still safe to take the Speedster out. Sigh..... It's just a matter of time.
Winter is (almost) here.

Oh man, I feel your pain.
Winter has already settled in here with a vengeance.
It barely hit 60 today.

Hey, @Sacto Mitch!
We just took the round-about route from Chris' place back to the house, past Tufts' New England Veterinary School (Basically a big, big farm) and saw all of the wild turkeys feeding in the fields and sitting in trees close to the forest - Must have been 40-50 of them. Unlike those on the infamous WKRP in Cincinnati Turkey Drop, all of the wild ones can (and do) FLY! Just imagine a beachball-sized bird flapping away at a few hundred feet up. And they fly fast (for their size), too.
Made it look a lot more like Thanksgiving out there in the wild forests of New England, where the Town names are unpronounceable, Everyone is stern in Winter, and no one trusts people "from away".

Yeah, Bugs Bunny had it right.
Worst-a-sheesh-ta-shest-a-shoost-a-shire. Pronounced "Woostah".
You people make no sense up there. Or do you?
I live in the town of Shawangunk. We pronounce it Shongum.
Tomato, tomotto.
