Troy: well done. Really love that black car.

Yes Robert Troy told me he is building the gray one. i think the cream one will be finished first. But the gray sounds like the one ? Can't wait to see some teaser photos. Troy keep me in the loop. I don't want to Miss out.
Looks like it is back for sale on eBay.

Your link took me back to Troy's original ad. Are you saying the black Outlaw Troy sold to the guy in Michigan is back up for sale?
Yes. The guy who bought it is going to have knee surgery and can't get in and out of it. I let him use my pictures and he basically just copied my ad. I'm helping him out.

Bidding ended, he sold it.
Beautiful build Troy, and it sold in record time. That lucky buyer is going to be the pride of his 'hood for a long time to come! Whoever that buyer is...welcome to the Gladness!!!
Let us all bow our heads for all of those "Camel Allantes" who gave up their lives for the interior of this Speedster. A noble, selfless gesture, to be sure.........And one that most assuredly help it to sell.......twice (or thrice!)
Hello everyone!
I'm the lucky guy that ended up with Troy's famous black speedster. I live in Chicago and have had it for a little over a month now. All I can say is that driving this car downtown is about as close to being a celebrity as I'll ever get. It's almost dangerous how many people want to take pictures of it and with it. Just last week a guy jumped out in front of the car with his selfie stick as the light turned green!
It's an awesome car and I am really enjoying it! I'd love to connect with Troy on a few things.
This was the first time I drove it out to dinner at a new Chicago hot spot. The parked it up front....in what I'd like to "call good company". Now the owners of all of those cars where at my table with envy. Haha!

Noe THAT is curb appeal!! Speedsters are always "an event" when out and about.
Beautiful car Troy "did up" there!
Tells about all the problems and teething pains you've had (we want to share your misery)...What's that you say? You have none?
Boy you can't beat that...a well sorted car for good money! Nice work Mr Sloan.
David. Glad you're enjoying the car. It's one of my favorites.
Troy
Hi Dave,
I am in Chicago as well. I had the same experience with my car. In fact,one night I went to Shula's Steakhouse and the valet left my car in front of the restaurant/hotel and told he was glad I was done with dinner because he spent the whole time keeping people from climbing in the car and taking pictures.
Lots of good people in the Chicago area with speedsters,so watch for details,might be a gathering sometime in the near future.
Tom
I'd lose my mind if someone was climbing all over my car (well, I don't have one yet."
I guess I am having the opposite experience.
At 3 months : still fighting the dmv to get a title, meanwhile I keep finding new things wrong with the car (engine compression, cv joints, ball joints, shocks, ... oh well.
Sometimes it goes like this.
I still like my neglected IM and will eventually turn it into a great car.
What a novel idea - buy the car and drive it... wow! Dreamland.
Congrats.
:-)
Paul,
You better get used to it. People drive close to you on the highway to take pictures,they stop you at the gas station and want to know what kind of car it is,they want to take pictures of their friends standing by it...you get the picture.
At the end of the day, it is just a car and in most cases,people are very respectful around it.
Just comes with the territory of owning something a little different that the rest of the world.
Carey told me when I was getting my car an ironic, but true fact "if you want to go somewhere fast, don't drive a Speedster.". I've had many gas pump & parking lot discussions.

I wouldn't lose my mind, but they might end up losing something. 
Since this thread has percolated back up, I'll take the opportunity to mention that the silver and black Vintage Outlaw that I have been preparing is nearly ready to have it's 2110cc motor installed.
The car is a full on Outlaw, no trim, no bumpers installed (but included) , bee hives, louvered deck lid, new Wide 5s with extended studs, polished wheel skins, hood straps, GT mirrors, Marshal fog lights, new paint, 2110cc motor with zero miles, ceramic coated A1 sidewinder header, 3" Crow racing belts, Chrome Tenax fasteners and more....
I've been taking my time with it due to vacations and other obligations, but it won't be long now.
Can't wait to see what you have come up with this time Troy. Safe to say they will be bitchen.
Bob, I didn't know you were packing 
It looks great. Reminds me of Jims which is one of my favorites
Hi Troy, I'm new here but I've been researching Speedsters for about 2 years now. I now have the means and I'm very interested in your 2 upcoming builds. Specially the cream one. Let's connect via PM.
Ivan
cant go wrong with Troy or DR. Clock,,well sorted cars
Hello Ivan.
The cream colored Speedster was completed and sold a couple of months ago. Ironically, it went to a guy in Florida. The silver/black car is nearing completion, but I still have a few more weeks of work to do on it.
The engine just went in last night. It's an outlaw with new paint, louvered deck lid, bee hives, wide 5s with extended studs and polished disk skins, Marshal fog lights, hood straps, zero miles on the 2110cc motor with dual 44IDF HPMX carbs, CB Performance electronic ignition and lots more.
This car is sweet!!!
I left you a PM with my phone number.
Troy
Just a heads up that I will very soon have two Speedsters available, both non-flared and air cooled, one full on Outlaw and the other traditional.
Contact me if you're in the market.
Your cars are always so pretty Troy. Looking forward to seeing the new ones.

Nice Ride Dave and glad you have joined the "Madness", I see you are already having a great time with the speedy! Get used to getting more thumbs up than the Ferrari and Maserati jockeys...they're a dime a dozen and will be very jealous of the attention to your car vs theirs. You will find the SOC group to be a fantastic, knowledgeable, and friendly bunch of people. Have fun with your new ride!
Yes I have seen the cars.......... both very nice...
Thanks to superior negotiation skills.. Troy was able to convince his Chinese child labor to return to work on the cars after a brief strike due to Troy stopping production on his Cruiser windows...
Tebs
Yes, the kids have returned to the sweat shop and the new, improved universal fit CruZin windows will soon be available.
When do we get a sneak-peek?
