Vintage Speedster Wanted / SILVER

Hello All,
It looks like I wont be able to buy a new Vintage Speedster as their prices have gone up.
I need to look down the used road. Anyone selling a Silver Vintage Speedster in excellent/ almost new condition?
Please let me know thanks ... JRYAN@ECCT.net

they went up recently? how much more?, thanks and good luck finding one, did you try ebay?

There's a nice silver one on ebay in Chicago if you're in the midwest...

Hello again, Yes VS has increased their prices. Kirk has done a good job of holding them down for the past 6 years however an increase was expected. They went up by $1000 (for the base turn key). I still think that is fair. I had once owned a VS a few years ago and was extreamly pleased. The car was assembled very well and she ran perfectly. The best part about the car was (being an owner of many Prior porsches) that any repair or replacement part was so damn cheap. I once smashed a curb and replaced the entire rim for only $45.00! My 95 993 cab would have cost over $400!
Have a great day & God Bless

I saw the one for sale in CHICAGO but it is very expensive.
I may as well buy a new one from Kirk for that kind of money.
Plus, the owner is very firm on the price.
Thanks for looking out for me!

Jim,

Does it have to be a VS and what is your price range?

Oops..my bad...

How about this one...

Seems too good to be true!

WOW, that one does seem too good to be true. About 1/2 of what I'm paying for a used one.

It's about $4K- $8K less expensive than ANY comparable car I've ever seen, and I've been watching since 2000. A couple of things look a little fishy though- what's with the selected bidders only thing, and the lack of a real location. If I wanted a car, I'd snap up the buy it now, fly to wherever he is (cash in hand), and hold him to the deal. If he got flakey about losing the title, or having to get the car out of escrow, or needing his mommy's permission- or if he said "just wire me the money, I'll send you the title..", I'd walk. At that price, I'd take a chance on losing the plane fare money, but not the price of the car...

BTW Luke- you got a good deal.

Thanks Stan, I feel a litle better. It does look a little flaky from a vetran eBayers point of view but if I weren;t already traveling cross country to buy one, I'd snap it up and resell it.

hello All,
I really would like another VS. The last one I had ran perfectly and was very well built. I have heard about complaints about VS finishes / paint however, I was very pleased with the silver paint I had. believe me I am a HARD CORE collector that is very detail concious. Thank all of you for help. I have been looking hard and I am sure soemthing will turn up!
Have GREAT WEEKEND!

I checked that auction and for some reason the guy suspended it last night along with another one he had running concurrently for a (now hear this) 1966 12 cylinder Jag with a Buy it Now Price of $8,200.00 (!!). Something smells fishy to me too...checked on the feedback and there's mention of some of the items sold before and most of them was clothes, suits and even a Barbie doll! Some friends are telling me that some scammers are stealing other users' accounts to commit fraud. This sounds like one of them; either Ebay suspended the auctions because they found out or the guy finally chickened out when he realized what could happen to him if caught.

 Jim were you ever a runner? A web site called specialityspeedsters.com has four for sale in San Francisco, two were silver $16,995 and $19,995. Go to mykitcars.com and scroll down to the second Speedsters Built, and Sold Here, click on that.

Hi Doug,

yes I am actually a runner. However, not the famous one at least thats what my wife tells me.
Anyway, specialityspeedsters.com is not a vaild web address. Can you please check it for me?
Thanks!

Doug I tried the specialityspeedsters.com too, that why you need to go to mykitcars.com and scroll down to the second Speedsters Built, and Sold. The mykitcars.com has about a 100 links and the second spec.... should get you there.

Darryll, it was Jim Ryun who did the 3:51:01 mile, almost twice as good as my best ones were. Doggone short legs will get you every time!

Doug, Ignore my message above, I tried to get back in to that web site to confirm it and could not. Try Yahoo and type in Speedsters Built and Sold Here, that will work.

I have one for sale in Annapolis, MD. Has the black gel-coat, which I've never bothered to paint - looks just fine. Body in good condition,

and has a newly rebuilt 1969 Porsche 912 Engine. Runs incredible! I have to sell it by June because my wife and I just had a baby in February and she won't let me bolt the carseat in the back...and we're moving this summer. $10k. Its such a great car. Let me know if you're interested.

I FOUND ONE!!!!!
Hello All,
I Finally did it. Believe it or not I had sold my silver speedster three years ago because I was moving. Since I have a new garage I contacted the person I sold it to and asked if he would sell it back,,, They did (and 3K less then I sold it for) with only 600 more miles on it and a couple of scratches that I can have fixed. I could have not asked for more.

Thanks for all of your help everyone. See ya' on the road!

Jim

Jim,

Congratulations on the repurchase of your Speedster, very lucky. In what part of the world do live?
