Heading to ebay

I'm going to spend today and maybe Tuesday getting my car ready for sale.
New paint, New exterior trim (mostly), this car was built by CMC "by them" and was a running, NY registered car. I don't know the condition of the engine/trans but the frame, body etc.. are great. Floor is new metal and has been treated/painted-epoxy paint coated. New bumper and side deco trim, new red carpet set (VS not CMC), lowered spindles(not installed), locking shifter, new windshield with new chrome frame(old aluminum frame included also), windshield rubbers, new headlight ass'y etc.........
That's the story, I'll update with pics when I can---Thanks
Oh yeah, if interested email me at bruceyoung5 AT yahoo dot com
p.s.---Sorry for the poor pics

Looks really nice so far, why selling?

it's a beauty. I have been putting this decision off and off kidding myself that I may finish it for this season (many seasons ago). It really doesn't need that much work as this was a running, road worthy, car that was put together by CMC not built in a private garage. But even with the little effort that is left I have to wean my projects down and focus on things one at a time (I think I have a case of undiagnosed A.D.D.-or it could be the coffee?). A few years ago I started a business on the side that has proved to be very viable. Within this business we're branching off in new directions and I have to devote more of my time/concentration in order to expand (which is the plan). My projects and hobbies (house additions, motorcycles, cars) are going to have to take a backseat for a while.
I really don't want anything hanging over my head during this time and find it freeing to lighten my own load. I have owned over 50 cars and
about 12-15 motorcycles so I can assure you this isn't the end for me.
I've been a gearhead all my life and expect to die that way.
Now buy my car so I can clean out my garage.

P.S.--it's further along than in the pics, doors installed etc...

Looks super nice and a easy speedster project to complete, surely there is some one that will grab it, this could easily be done in time for Carlisle. ~Alan

Get real, Merklin. We all know you've already mailed Bruce a check.
Some "Cooper S" grilles, and she'll be a show-stopper. ;)

Grrrrrrr nothing do'n Cory, I am actually done buiding. This is the third or forth speedster I have passed on! However, I would have made a deal on this one if... I were to continue the
"Merklin Motor-Craft Speedster Rescue program" ....Not ! ~Alan
......ummmmwouldbenicetoknowtheaskingpricethough:)

Nice color, looks like my Ghia's color.

I'm not asking yet--I had hoped to roll it out today and take pics etc...but life got in the way and it'll have to wait till Tuesday.
I leaned into the garage with my cell phone (sorry, crappy cell pic for now). In fact all of these are cell phone pics except the one of the hood. Though it looks close in the pic-nothing has touched the car or paint. New paint, nice job, blemish free, 2005 BMW MINI dark grey.

Wipers, wiring, switches all there--just pull them through. Two of the shots above were before the clear coat. That's why I guess it looks more slate blue/gray. Door's removed because of color change from red(now reinstalled). Body has been notched to accept the single Stainless steel oval exhaust(it comes with it). Very similar to the look below.

What about a drive train? Is there an engine installed and what size etc? What is the price of the car?

yes there is a motor and trans installed--The size/condition are all assumptions on my part. Price?--I'm hoping to sit down by the end of the week and think it through. I am open to offers.

Bruce,

Since this didn't sell on eBay are you going to tell us how much you actually want for it?
