WTB nice, completed pro-touring car (again, still) UPDATE FOUND A CAR! SEE PAGE 3
 

Hope everyone is well and happy holidays. OK, here we go again - again. Still looking to buy a nice, completed pro-touring car. I put my search on hold for a bit but am now back on the hunt. What I am looking for has not changed:

1st gen. Camaro or Mustang
LSX motor (or latest gen. Ford motor) - could be open here
mini-tubbed
5 or 6 speed
completed car, ready to roll

What I am willing to pay will depend on the car but can range from $75,000 up to $125,000 for the right car. Have cash and am ready. Please PM me if you have and\or know of a nice car for sale.

Many thanks,:lateral:

Chris good luck finding the right PT car.Scott

Scott,

Hope you are well and thanks. The search goes on.......

Take care,
Chris

Chris, I find it hard to belive that you cant find a nice PT car for sale.I must be the only person that's get board w/ a build and want's to sell to start a new one.If you wanted a 2nd gen w/LS & T56 I would finish this latest build for you in your color & interior choices.Could have it finished by end of march.Scott

What about a Chevelle?

Scott,

I am trying!!!!!! It is tougher than I thought it would be to find what I am looking for - for sale. Your 2nd gen. sounds cool but I am hoping to be in a car before March. So, may try the BJ Auction or ???? Let's stay in touch though.

Take care,
Scott,
Chris

Hey Frank. Hope you are well. Normally I would jump at a nice Chevelle (and coming from you \ your shop I assume it is a nice car) but the last car I had was a twin turbo Chevelle - pic attached - so I am hoping to get into something different. Having said all that, can you shoot me a pic \ some specs on the Chevelle?

Thanks, Frank,
Chris

There's a sh!t load of protouring/restomods going to Barrett Jackson Scottsdale next month.

You might pick up a bargain, and it's one stop shopping.

Thanks for the tip,

Good luck Chris

Chris, I will shoot you a PM as well but you can take a look at this car as it may fit your needs and is at the bottom of your price range vs the top.

Basic PT build with 2010 LS3 with Texas Speed cam, T56 6 speed, Art Morrison front sub, DSE Quadralink rear, new 9 inch, full custom leather interior, Boze wheels, Wilwood brakes, DSE SS tank, Feslers hood hinges and tail lights, RS front end, Smoked Glass, Vintage Air, Anvil CF parts etc etc etc. Car has very very few miles and was completed this year. Was also used in the filming of the latest Fast and Furious movie so may make the big screen.

Shoot me a note if you want more info on the car.

Chris

to the top....still looking
 

Hope everyone is well. WOW! Never thought it would be this difficult to find a car. Any tips on completed, nice PT cars for sale, please let me know.

Much thanks,
Chris

You've waited this long, give Shay enough time to finish his car and you won't be disappointed. He does work as good as any custom shop. I saw it last week and it looks fantastic. It's pretty close now, and will surely be ready and sorted well before driving weather gets here.

Perhaps your results would be better if you told us a little more about what you want. Are there any member's cars you like that you are looking for one similar to? Camaro X may have been the buy of the year. I wish I had been in the market when it was for sale.

As far as Mustangs go, unless they have been sold, there were a couple of Ring Brothers Mustangs for sale a while back. I am sure Mike or Jim would know if they still are for sale as I beleive they knew the owner. For Camaros, there are no well known first gens I know of for sale right now. The Finch car seems to have everything you are looking for besides the sidepipes I would imagine. The Whidby car was in your price range, but must me too much of a street rod.

Mine could be bought, but since I didn't hear back from you I assume there is something you don't like about it.

Found \ Bought A Car!!!
 

Hello all. Well, the search has (finally) ended. Thanks to all who responded to my WTB post; lots of very nice cars out there for sure.

The car I bought satisfies most of what I was looking for:

1st gen. Camaro or Mustang - check, 1st gen. Camaro
LSX motor (or latest gen. Ford motor) - could be open here - well, big block
mini-tubbed - yup, car has a mini tub
5 or 6 speed - yup 5 speed
completed car, ready to roll - yup complete \ done car

In the end I realized I wanted both a show and go car. In that order really. I plan to show the car, and, drive it around town as often as I can but will never be an auto cross guy. So, I bought a car that is biased accordingly.

It is a Scott Whidbey (sp) car and has not been shown yet. The car has 80 miles on it. Plan to "debut" the car at the Sacramento Autorama in Feb. Few pics attached.

Thanks again for all of your referrals and support.

Take care,
Chris

Good Job Chris, nice car indeed. I will be ready for you next time lol.

SWEET... cant wait till Feb... more details and pics please!

Destined for a life of fuel line polishing and 75 miles a year. :lol: Congrats on finding a car.

Congrats on finding the right car Chris. When I first saw this car a few weeks back I thought you'd pass as it's more show than what I pictured you were looking for...

She's a beauty, that's for sure. I hope you got a smokin' deal and drive the hell out of it!

thanks guys
 

Guys,

Thanks for the kind words. No denying this car is more of a show car than I set out to buy, but, I plan to drive it around town as well. Just not an auto cross car. I plan to cover the leading edges with X-Pel or 3M clear bra and should be OK. According to those who have driven the car (a totla of 81 miles) it runs well and can haul the mail! Hope to have the car here next week or so and will both take some pics and give a driving report.

Shay, yea.....let's stay in touch.

Take care,
Chris

Congrat's Chris,:thumbsup: Awesome car.Good luck.Scott

Congrats Chris. Very sharp looking car. Curious if you're gonna leave the subframe orange? (serious question :) )

Scott,

Many thanks. Just neeeeeed the car to get here!

Flash, not sure what if any changes I make. I plan to spend some time with the car and then see if there is anything I can do that will not un-do all of the cool work Scott did.

Chris

umm
 

Chris did your car get there yet? Don't leave us hanging man, post your pics and your thoughts on it.

She is home and in her new garage
 

Hey Shay,

Hope you are well. Yea, the Camaro I bought is home now. Had a small delay in transport and then needed to spend a few days at a local speed shop for some minor stuff but she is now tucked in the garage; only been here for about 4 days not counting the few days in the shop.

I love the car. Scott W. builds an awesome car, and, the guy I bought it from has been great to work with. My plan going forward is to keep her as clean as possible and take the car to the Autorama in Sacramento in mid. Feb. and then start to drive the car. Essentially get this one, indoor car show done and then put some miles on the car. :thumbsup:

Attached are 3 pictures. The first is a picture of the car in my garage (the paint \ body are amazing) the second is a picture is from Scott the builder and the 3rd picture is from Shannon Interiors of the engine bay. I will post some more pics as I put her in the show and then on the road.

How is your build coming?

Chris

Its going good, I got the windshield in so I have been able to drive it for some shake down time. Keep us updated on some pics when you get to the show. You are gonna have a ball now. Good job dude, I know you have been waiting along time for this.
