Vintage Speedster For Sale

Looks like he enjoys beer pong.

Jim,

Blake and Jen are bailing on us??  What's up?

Thanks for putting this up Jimbo!!

Robert.... we're not bailing! :-) We'll be there for the next runs...just not in the Speedster... and not the SLO run.  It unfortunately conflicted with another trip we had previously booked.  

BTW.... forgot to mention in the description that this is the legendary Speedster once owned by the infamous El Diablo - Vince!!

Look forward to catching up with you all soon!

Have fun on your trip and we'll see you on the next run.

Any insights on what you're getting, if you're getting something else? Or are you just not going to have a Speedster anymore?

Blake and Jen.   I'm not sure that revealing the fact that it was once owned by Vince is a positive marketing strategy.  You would be much better off saying it was once owned by Teri.  

Nice stance.

PM'ed

Bump ad for Blake.

Well... The Speedster is officially sold and will be on its way to Switzerland after Kirk sends it out!

Attached are some pics of the new ride for now, that we'll be bringing on future cruises. Definitely not real fast, so we'll catch up with you at the bar!��

Kirk does a lot with dealers overseas...mine went to a dealer in Belgium thru Kirk

So what are the specs on this speed demon?

I lust for a crew cab. I'd drop the 2110 from the speedster in it. Toss the kayaks, the fishing gear and the crab traps in the back, the family in the front and be off!

May you always have a tail wind (and never side gusts)!

I've thought along those lines too, Bob, but then I'd have 2 old VW's to keep running, and the Speedster isn't out of the garage yet...

This really is a disease. If I could have a good crew cab or a nice split window transporter for a reliable daily driver that would be great. The challenge would be getting up and over the bridge over the bay at a reasonable speed. I traverse that at least once every day. As long as I could get a running start I'd be fine. Slap on safari windows and pop outs and create air conditioning. Bet I could get the passenger cabin temp down to 80 in August at top speed.

Yeah. Getting up and over the bridge daily may piss a bunch of people off... especially in rush hour traffic  

Robert, as for the specs:

59 Single Cab, Rotisserie restoration in 2015, New 1600 Single Port, Rebuilt Big Nut Tranny and RGBs, New Front End, Brakes, Interior, Window, and Door Seals, New Gas Tank, new wire harness, and of course, Safari Windows.

55mph (flat highway ) 35ish up hills.... so like i said earlier, we'll be meeting up with you guys on runs!

Look, if they can't take a joke, they shouldn't be behind me!

One of the few vehicles I wish I hadn't sold was my 911 powered 1970 single cab. 

The truck went like stink, but the the fellow I bought it from, who owned a Porsche repair shop in Florida, went overboard on the engine rebuild, as in really high compression/cam, but used the stock fuel injection system. Consequently, it never ran properly and was a real b*tch to start.

I sold it to some guy in California.  I miss that truck.  

I didn't even own it and I miss it.

That's really cool Blake. Have fun.

Damn, Ron! 911 motor in these trucks.... wow!

Thanks Robert.  i hope we catch up with you guys next year!  Have a great trip in SLO.

My first bus was a '61. Slow, so I had a bumper sticker on it that read "I can't help it...my dad is driving" 

Cool bus, Blake! 

Looks like a perfect San Luis Obispo chase vehicle........and wine case carrier.

soob job...
