Wide Body Coupe

Do a search here for SAS and JPS  most here will tell you to avoid entering into a transaction from either vendor.  Check into Vintage Motorcars and Beck- Special Edition, both have wait times to do your build but you will get your dream car .

I would do a search for both those vendors on this site and see the comments that were given and issues that were had in dealing with these vendors, a fully informed buyer is a happier buyer and one that does not get defrauded.

I like what Alan said, you will get your dream car...¨a very good point.

There was a recent thread here that Jim Kelly's SAS had been wreck.  Believe he spun out due to a component failure and the right rear was damaged. There was a picture of his car in that thread.  He turned down insurance companies offer to buy it back so perhaps you could buy it from insurance company's action and bring it back to life.

I can't find the thread - did I just have a very bad nightmare or too much to drink?

THXs - thought old age struck suddenly!

@WOLFGANG. Where did you get the information about what actually happened with Jim's car?  I had his phone number and tried calling him, but the person who answered said he didn't know who Jim Kelly was.

It looks like he's been active on the site recently, so I assume he's OK.

He responded that something apparently broke causing a spin out with him hitting road side going backwards. He said he was unable to check under car and took insurance payout.  Think he said he was doin about 55 mph.  Sad end to a beautiful car - hope someone buys the wreck and brings it back to life!

It's in link about the hot cars -

@Troy Sloan @WOLFGANG i also read somewhere here that the car hit hard enough to pop out all the window glass which i assume tweaked the entire square tube sub frame....and is most likely unrepairable...such a sad ending to a stunning car...more so just because of his very sad & crazy SAS saga...which i have 1st hand knowledge of as well

Here's another photo from CoPart site - showing rear window gone.  It would be "fun" or a challenge bringing it back if salvage price were reasonable.  Says engine runs (?) so there's good start. Door gaps look ok. Roof  line and rear window frame look ok too. 

Still not released for auction sale, the rear glass being popped out isn't as much of a concern as the passenger door appears to be closed but looks sprung , that bothers me but... I'm still watching :~)

Those pics make me incredibly sad

It's a mid-engine car so it's possible no damage to the engine components at all. And it's quite possible the rear door isn't closed because someone didn't close it all the way.
