Sorry to see you have to sell.

Sorry to Hi-jack the thread.

thanks Roger! Just giving the guy a couple options if he's still looking for a car.

Dam Jody you beat me to it! I was gathering the necessary threads for him!
I was thinking how the aforementioned cars were great representations of our type of vehicles and in his price range. And also Jody, the car looks great.
There is also a few other cars for sale here that are less pricey(not meaning overpriced by any means), and would be great purchases.

hello frank,

we spoke on Friday afternoon - my name is Stuart . Considering the amount of people you spoke to im not sure if it helps to attempt to put a name to the face or person but i am in my mid 30' but been told look much younger. I was wearing a pair of black and gray plaid type golf shorts and white mid sleeve shirt, a black "oakley hat on backwards, had a scruffy face, orange lense sunglasses across the top of the hat and was holding a amp energy can (im always holding an amp energy can) i looked at the car a few times sometimes just walking by real slow. when we spoke the trunk of the car was open and there were a few people around the car - you were speaking to another person and i was just staring hard at the front end of the car
when we did speak-
one of the comments i made to you was was the fact that it looks as good as it did when i first saw the car in 2008 in ohio at the goodguys show- we spoke about it then as well for about 15 min. - we talked about ride height during the run - i dont remember if it was you or scott that drove that run.
( lisa was in the pass seat - it was in the large parking lot close to where everybody was staging to make their run in the north side of the internal fairgrounds parking lot the far side from the main internal "drag" for the ohio fairgrounds.) south side was holding cars ( my car was located in front of the ohio highway patrol building)-

the Vegas conversation was very brief - there was a gentleman approching the driver door and leaning in to take a look and .... well it was clear you were very very busy ... and i was well aware and understood that ( and i had my own internal kinda conflict going on)

i really didnt ask any questions cause i really didnt have any - I had kept track of the car via this site and the such and my post here was based out of "internal jitters and nerves. besides - im the kinda guy that is more comfortable in a face to face keeping a low profile.

if none of the above brings me back to your memory this might - you posed the question of intrest - my reply was "Very much so but if all goes well for you .... it will end up way past what i am able to afford and then i wished you luck

on a side note - like most guys you see a car and you come up with a couple of different thoughts about it - Empty Nest was one of thoes cars that kicked me in the teeth when i saw it for the first time at 2008 goodguys and that never went away. In the past be it business or personal - taking a chance has paid off or not paid off - me going to vegas was taking a chance and worth the risk - i would have hated myself if that was my chance to try and i didn't move - i knew the budget on the car was weak i had kinda prepared for that and im guessing when i say that is why i made the above comment to you.

i have made it home now - and find myself still pissed and backtracking about the fact i didn't get the car due to MY budget constraints good thing is i still have the money and i damn well know that 100k wont get empty nest duplicated but my young daughter being wise beyond her 7 years- simply stated "just build one daddy you designed this house- how hard can a car be? ..... wisdom out of a seven year old .....

it may not be today .... and it may not be next week ..... but frank (and i ask this out of school) ..... any thoughts on a empty nest v2.0 ?? ( you ponder and ill work on it from my end - my end being the check )

THIS IS AN EXACT COPY OF MY FIRST POST - unable to copy the link - for that i am sorry

[ProdigyCustoms]

Yup, seen it. Glad to have met you. your right, i had a almost flury of lookers, mostly non bidder badge types, but you have to be nice to everyone ya know.

Thanks agian.

See my post in the other thread, it may not be over.

Whiplash911 you should be all over the two cars below, IMO you can't go wrong with either!!

I'm also going to be putting my twin turbo LS2 Chevelle for sale in the same price range. Originally built and engineered by Mark Stielow also, it's a more subtle old-school look with big power modern underpinnings. Mini-tubbed, paddle-shifted 4L80E, can drive anywhere.

ill be the first to admit both cars look great - and i love the look of the engine bay out of the chevelle - and actually i might borrow an idea out of that engine bay per the permission of jody(as im coming up with the list of ideas and concepts .... i am keeping track via a note pad of whom is giving me the ideas and will make sure they get the credit they deserve)

on the statement of i should be considering both cars .... yes they are worth consideration and i say this out of all due respect to both cars ..... i have a personal childhood history with a 69 trans am and to me that means everything and thats why i am heading in that direction

[gearheads78]

Jody,
There are not many cars I can say this about but if I won the lottery Friday I would be calling you Saturday. Once in my hands I would not change anything and I can find something I would do different on 99% of cars I see no matter how nice. I am so glad you went back to these wheels. Good luck with the sale. I hope its because you want to and not because you have to.

Whiplash and i had a great conversation last night and I think something special is around the corner.

Stay tuned.
