I realized my oops just when I posted.

Fixed it!

Hello Chase - I sent you a pm about my black '57 CMC Carrera Speedster that will soon be up for sale. The pm has my phone number and a few photos so you can see if this car is of interest to you, then call me to arrange a time to see it. Good luck on your hunt, but I think this is a sweet little speedy and it gets a lot of attention on the road!

Cheers - Rene aka "Dutch"

How about posting a few pics here, Dutch- seeing your car again is always a treat!

PS- sorry to hear you're going to be selling- what's up?

Hello @@ALB, I am cleaning up the car this weekend and will post some pics next week. I really do not want to sell this car because it is so much fun to drive however here is why I will be putting it up for sale: I am starting to have several physical ailments that make it difficult for me to shift or to sit in it for any length of time and be comfortable. The second reason is I am looking to get into a teardrop trailer to start traveling now that I’m retired and I only have a single storage area to keep a vehicle or a trailer hence the black beauty must go. I know I Will miss it as soon as it’s gone but this is just where I am in life.

Check out the car listed in Charlotte, NC.  It is beautiful Black.  Look up FORMULA IMPORTS, they're asking 33,900 and has around 6000 miles. If I didn't have mine, I'd probably look at this one.

I called them last week and that car has been sold.

I will probably be selling mine sometime soon.

Sorry to hear it, but it happens to us all eventually.  Life is about decisions...

While we're (not so patiently) waiting for pics, how's about refreshing our memories and giving us some details about your Speedster?  And you know what I want to know- engine (displacement, carbs, exhaust, heads, valve sizes/porting, cam/rockers and compression), trans (ring&pinion, gears if different from stock, superdiff?), irs or swingaxle, brakes, what wheels and tires (and size(s) of course!), brakes (and if discs, what type), does it have sway bars, how low is it- you know-

                                EVERYTHING!!!

@Paul Yoch- Nice Speedster!  A few more pics?  And tell us about it- for what I want to know, just read above   Since you're going to be selling, consider this a teaser for the crowd...

In fairness, these are the photos that Troy took when I bought from him many years ago...just don’t have the time to enjoy and thought I would pass along if someone makes a reasonable offer...and it’s a 2276 with freeway flier 4 speed.  I know it has Weber 40 IDF duel carbs...I do have many more details, but have to look up and post again...

Thanks,

Paul
