Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!
It's absolutely beautiful!

So is that one of your cars or just your body on a chassis or vice versa? I noticed the LOLA VIN Tag on there and had to ask.

Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!
That is an RCR70 through and through....

I didn't know that Bob, the owner was being cheeky and had put a replica chassis tag on it..

I just called him and asked him to remove it......we replica companies must play nice...and respect the originals...IMHO....he now agrees.

Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!
I've seen first hand several cars which Ken Seybert, the fellow who reportedly built the car, has done. One of them, as a matter of fact, was a nearly finished version of a car which was sourced in the Detroit area... imagine that!

Anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, would be thrilled to own a car finished by Ken - a no excuses top shelf result. He's truly a craftsman.

Best,

T.

Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!
Hi Fran,

Is the small slider window between the cockpit and engine bay standard or an option? I would definitely like to have one of those for my car that Ken is building.

I can vouch for Ken Seybert having built the car as I saw it in his shop during visits to check on the progress on my car. Ken does great work.

Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!

he says "WILL CONSIDER TRADE FOR SPORTS OR MUSCLE CAR" - what on earth does he think that T70 is - a cardboard cutout?

The pictures do not do that car justice. I saw that car at Carlisle and was speechless. With the current exchange rate, I am surprised someone from Europe has not sent a deposit for the car.

Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!
what is this car REALLY worth? Any ideas? The owner says it has significant upgrades from a standard RCR build, but will he get this price in this market? Have been in touch with the broker, but feel thay may be unrealistic in their pricing. cb

Re: WOW! Check out what I found!!!
Its worth what someone is prepared to pay....is it worth $125k to you??

A turnkey minus RCR70 Mk3b starts at $65,000

Regardless of what the "broker/owner" may say...its a standard RCR build....with RCR COMPONENTS....except for maybe the rear view camera...

This is probably a dumb question, but how does a rear-mounted distributor get driven?
