I didn't think I could just slide this by youz' guys ....This is just a test auction to see what it might go to, would have to go big $ for me to part with it.

I KNEW IT!

KIM WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Terry, for exposing Mr. "This one's a KEEPER!"

Terry & GN...Well KIM thinks it's way funny ~

This is my last build......Im serious....Im not joking...you guys think Im kiddin..... Then Alan wakes up and says...WOW!!!!! That was a weird dream.

Alan,

It is a beautiful piece of work-and it smells of prototype, I was just thinking "He could sell these" It has a "updated" quality that does not offend and does allure. Like the wide stance, the "s" upfront, and the classy interior treatment, and let's not forget the banjo wheel. Anyone who follows Porsche and the "356" in particular, should take a minute and check this "Sophisticated Speedster" out!

Regards
tim

Alan,

Planning to build the Milner coupe next?

I think he's gonna put a Speedster body on his go-cart project.

Is it possible a Spyder is in the works, now that you've been poisoned, Alan?

Tim:

I don't remember that you were at Carlisle to see Alan's car, but his inspiration was the 55-56 Corvette (same color combination and similar interior look) and we all thought he nailed it. I was wondering what it would look like with Corvette-like contrasting color "Coves" on the sides...

Besides that, Alan has built one of those rare cars that begs you to walk around it multiple times and on each pass you find a few more things that catch your eye and make you say; "Hey....That's Nice!

There are a few (albeit, VERY few) Street Rod/Hot Rod builders who produce work like that: Cars that you walk around a few times and always find something cool, something different, and always tastefully done.

I guess that's why we go to car shows and cruise nites!!

Oh, I think Kim is STILL right!!!!!

gn

(Nope! I'll never sell THIS one! Nope, not me!! hmmmmm....)

SOLD on EBAY!!!

Again:

I KNEW IT!!!

KIM WAS RIGHT!!!!!!

Well ... sh*t. Maybe a coat of paint really is all it takes. ;)

Holy $$$hit!

Alan,
I'd like to see what you could do with a non-flared speedster.
Or are you planning to buy that 359 with all that extra cash?

nice sale Alan!!!!

.....and Alan remains suspiciously absent from the forum.

hmmmmmmmmm................

Maybe his wife Kim sold the Speedster and has taken away his laptop, too.

Ya think??



Naaaaahhh........... ;>)

Maybe Kim BOUGHT the Speedster to keep him from selling it. Maybe.

If e sold it, I say he owes each of us an egg sammich at next year's Carlisle.

Give mine to Vince.....

One each day, Lane.

Uuuuurp!

...or maybe Alan's computer has malfunctioned because he put a drum skin on it?!

WHAT!!! It could happen...

Guys,
It looks like it sold for 25K

....SSSSSSSsound of a needle scraping across a record.........

Well gang, sorry to dissapoint and not be a 2009 egg sammich sponsor but, the buyer made 7 phone calls to me in 10 hours today, bottom line is the A-hole didn't want to comply with the terms and conditions of my sale as ststed on eBay, he felt that HE would dictate the terms of the sale NOT. ~Alan

Bummer....your terms didn't seem unreasonable....good luck with the "new" auction.
