Hello From Central CA

How much do you want to spend?

Check it out Anand, Bob and Teby, he's from CLOVIS!!!  Welcome to the madness!

I'm a former Clovis guy as well....

The Madness is growing Troy -- right here in Central CA! It was a beautiful day for a drive here...70 degrees!

And the Central Valley clan grows... slowly.

 

Welcome to the madness. Tell your loved ones that you'll be okay and to prepare for a bumpy ride.

Todd, get to know Troy. That's all you need to know.

Oh, yeah, welcome to the site. Join us in SLO in June.

New guy buys the first day's round...

Sweet! He's newer than I am! Yess!

 

/me makes that fist pumping motion...

Thanks everyone, pretty excited about the prospect of owning a Speedster! Good to know there are some locals, I may ask for your expertise when I find some Speedsters to look at it. Thanks again everyone!

Todd - it would be great if you joined us in Luis Obispo in June. You'll be able to see most manufacturer's cars at the event (Vintage, Beck, Intermeccanica, JPS, CMC). Open event, so not limited to 354 models. Check under the 'Events' thread for West Coast Cruise.

 

Hope to see you there! 

Thanks for the invite, hopefully I can attend(with my new speedster)!

What's your opinion on this one I found on Craigslist? Condition? Pricing?

What size engine? swingaxle or irs? discs on front? What's the condition of the title (how easy will it be to get into your name)? What's it look like in person? That's the big one; you've got to go look at it.

Waaay back when I was looking, I called on that car. This was about two or three weeks ago. when he had just posted the ad. At that time the car was titled in Colorado. The seller was in the process of registering it in CA. He has a pile of temporary registration certs he acquired as he has extended them over the past few months. He was trying to set up a meeting with the CHP for a vin inspection so he can complete the process of getting it registered in CA.

The seller isn't sure what motor is in it. He told me "it's the bigger one.." and "it has two carburetors".

Thats all I remember from our conversation.

Hope that helps,
Ted

He wasn't much help, was he?

He is claiming now that it has current registration and is Titled. One of the pictures shows an Arizona plate with a temporary CA registration paper on top. I guess I need to ask if it is NOW registered in CA. The price seems fair, even with those concerns, but obviously I need to go look at it, too. He also raised the price, last price was $15900 a couple weeks ago - interesting. . . . 

After reading through various posts here on the forums, it appears some of you are actively in market for Speedsters and have already seen some of these vehicles in person. Given that I am not in the LA area and that most of the speedsters for sale are located in LA, can you let me know if you have seen any of these vehices in person?

 

Thanks!

hello, welcome to the forum, nice to meet you. esky rc hope you can find it,good luck. 

Tboned - I am 20 minutes from the Silver Speedster in San Juan Capistrano and 30 minutes from the red Speedster in San Clemente. I see quite a few Speedsters while I'm cruising around but can't say if I've seen these two specifically.

 

Let me know if you need some help checking these out! Use 'Dialogs' tab above.

 

Peace-Out! 

Thank you Musbjim, I appreciate you! I'll let you know. So far, none of those guys are budging even a penny on their price!

Yeah, back when I was looking - I called the guy in San Juan Cap. He didn't even flinch. He's Not going to budge. Not one dollar.

 

Be patient, your car will find you.
