Dead Cat is on eBay and a few other places

[Payton King]

I have had a few people ask me if that was my car on eBay...yes it is. I had my friend that lives in Ms. to list it for me.

Why do I have it up for sale? The project took on a life of its own. I started out 6 years ago to build a nice driver that I could take to track days, drag strip, Maxton Mile and terrorize the streets. What I ended up with was car car that has all of the pieces that I would use for the above events, but way too nice paint and way too much NOS sheet metal.

The sage advice of Frank from Prodigy told me a few months back...it is just paint, that can be re-shot. Which he is 100% correct. So here is the deal, I figured that I would put the car up for sale in a few places. If it sells, I am happy because I will have another 69 project in my garage within a month with a much shorter build time. If it does not sell, I am happy because I just spent 6 years building this car and now I am going to drive the piss out of it. Either way I win, which is a good thing.

I commend Steve Rupp for what he is about to do to Penny (his car not the new copy assistant) and I may be doing the same thing very soon. I do not want to be wondering 2 years from now when the car is not fresh and wore from abuse if maybe I could have sold it and done this to another not so nice car.

There you have it, the cat is out of the bag, so to speak.

I will keep you posted on what is going on. I believe the auction is ending this Sunday and I have a person from NC coming to look at the car tomorrow.
