Its being sold at RKMotors in Charlotte. They "claimed" it sold at their auction a couple weeks ago for 300K. So the new owner wanted nothing to do with the car and just puts it back in there show room for sale. I find that weird.

Thanks for the vote of confidence there! Always better to jump to conclusions rather than ask for the correct info.

The Innovator was actually sold to RK Motors for the cash number plus another vehicle on trade. RK buys and sells high end pro-touring cars and hot rods. If you take a look at their web site you will see many very familiar cars that they have either sold, or currently have for sale.

The owners car direction has changed and moved seriously into the track day stuff. He has had several European supercars and has been bit pretty hard by the racing bug. He purchased a BMW M3 all out track car and has been doing a ton of track day events. He is a muscle car guy at heart and was never too thrilled about showing up with a Bimmer. So, about 6 months ago we started building another all out track car for him based on a 2nd gen Camaro.

He loved the Innovator, but it was obviously not something that can be taken out and tracked regularly. So, the decision was made to put it up for sale and start building another car that fit his new desires.

So RK bought the car from the guy you built it for, RK then sold it at their auction, and whomever bought the car at auction put it back up for sale? Or did RK not actually sell it at their auction?

Such a bad ass car! Seeing it at Optima a few years ago was a life changing event, really. The fit and finish and attention to detail is beyond words and to see it out running hard was something I won't forget.

Beautiful car, excellent build.

I never said the car was not worth the price they were selling it for or for what it was sold for at the auction. I am sure the orginal owner probably took a lose on the car at 300K. I was just inclining that the new owner probably never enjoyed the car since it seemed like it went straight from the auction block to RK's showroom. I would have thought he would have enjoyed it for a little bit. I am also jealous I could never afford one of your builds (roadster shop) but would love to have one of your chassis one day. You guys do awsome work and I follow your builds on the forums.

Not sure if you've been on the RK Motorsports website, but their pictures are pretty high quality compared to other "dealers". Sometimes they offer pretty detailed and good quality videos with some cars.
