Step right up, gentlemen, and purchase a legend.

This is the car that started it all-- Jim Ward's Vintage Speedster. The one he speced and had built even as he was staring death in the eye. The one he drove a couple thousand miles to the SOC so-cal rally at Knott's in '04, a couple of months into recovery from a double lung transplant. The one that introduced some of we fortunate few to one of the bravest and most inspiring men we'll ever know.

Justin has been an excellent caretaker of a legend. This is the car that started Jim's "second chance". You can't make this stuff up.

In addition, it's absolutely gorgeous, and appointed "just right".

It's a deal, whatever it costs.
Okay, you new folks ... that's The One, for all the reasons Stan just added to Justin's advertisement. For several other reasons, too; it's professionally maintained, it has the thought process of a perfectionist involved with its assembly and accoutrements AND it's really, for real, no kidding, the car once owned by the man who made a truly indelible mark on this hobby.

Whatever Justin's asking for it, I'm pretty sure he'll discuss offline with prospective buyers. It would be worth it for interested parties to use the search function (search 'Jim Ward') to read some of our departed friend's musings on life, this group of people and his inspirational outlook on every day of borrowed time he had. His cars both reflected his effusive and positive vibe.

Justin, you've really taken excellent care of that Speedster. My hat's off to you, Sir.
