wow--another super bargain assuming the car is all there in good order.

I see chreap IMs and now this Vintage. Where were these when I paid for my car???!---Jack

Jack-

They were enjoying the cars, and you've been enjoying yours. It's all good, man. ;)

Stan--you are so right---I am lucky to have my great Speedster---thoroughy sorted and greatly improved with lots of features which something that a $12k VS likely could never match! This is the reason you see cars sold with 4,000 miles---or in the case of mine, just 700 miles!

---On to Carlisle!---Jack

You know, Jack, I pat myself on the back for having two Carlisle, and three Smokies trips (including that one two weeks ago) under my belt, but I think you will soon have me beaten in mileage. Yes, these cars may not be the most comfortable or weatherproof, but they were made to be driven.

Lane---driven---damned right! I have put 6,500 miles on my VS since July, '07 without any trouble. I want to drive it to Morrow Bay next year and am looking for a couple of other crazies to caravan with.

I have had as much fun working on this car as driving it and it certainly was (I hope WAS) a work in progress. In about the last month here's what I've done:

1. Installed the missing turn signal cancellation ring--now the turn signals cancel. (I thought I had manual turn signals!)
2. Removed the dead Viper alarm system
3. Replaced the radio that was shorting internally and drawing my battery down
4. Added Marchal Fog lights
5. Had it color sanded and buffed
6. New wheels and tires (round wheels-what a concept!)
7. Added rear reflectors
8. Aligned the front end--major deal for me.
9. Won 2nd place in a car show--not car work but nice event.

So who wants to plan Morrow bay for next year?

Back to the thread about bargain Speedsters.---Jack

Three trips to the Adirondacks, Lake Placid area, A trip over SkyLine Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway, to many shows and trophies to count, 22 years on the road and not sure how many miles. Yea Lane your right, these cars are meant to be driven. I have driven in rain, snow, the blazing sun, Rain never bothered me that much, except the cleanup and dry time. I think the toughest ride was one of my trips to the Adirondacks in at least 90 deg hot blazing sun. I was cooked after that ride.

Hi..i tried to email you , dbradley@hanover.com but it got kicked back...is your speedster still available? thanks.

His Post says dbradley@san.rr.com remember to replace the AT with a Shift 2 for the at sign

I purchased Duane's Speedster.
I drove it up from San Diego to Los Angeles the week-end before last.

Lester - Welcome "Back" to the Madness!! Hope to see you on one of our upcoming SoCal runs!

Rocky,

Next time you take a trip to the Adirondacks, please take some shots ( with your car in frame of course)a post them on this site. That is such a beautiful part of the country that amny Americans don't even know exists, especially Californians.

I know it well, having grown up in upstate NY. Rocky, ever have supper at the Buffalo Head Inn???

Hoss,where exactly are you from? My family was from Attica, NY. My Grandfalther was the blacksmith at the prison when it first opened in the 30's.

I was hatched in Bridgeport, CT. My Dad was an engineer for GE and after WWII whatever he was doing wan't necessary anymore. He and a group of his associates, referred to as the "Connecticut Yankees", were transferred to Electronics Park in Syracuse, NY. That's the area where I grew up. I discovered Buffalo Head Inn while living in Oneida Castle.

I guess Buffalo head is better than no head at all...

Not as spicey as the wing and much more meat.

got you beat jack, i got my vintage with only 340 miles, and only i month old, fron the owner who special ordered it. bill
