[Johnson954]

Is this for real??

[Shred918]

Being it is posted I would say it is for real. Will anyone pay that for that car........... I seriously doubt it. I would think he would be lucky to get half of what he is asking for it.

I'm just sayin

[ffrank]

Guys, Try and build one "new" from scratch. Now make it work good, not DNF.. and win! Ask how much money they have won over the past year in a half and what spare package goes with it. Now ask yourself how much would "you" pay to run up front and win races... consistantly. I bet you'll find it isnt that poorly priced. The days of 5, 6, and even 7 thousand dollar cars are gone, hell, motors cost that. Sure you could go buy a 1600 car for that, but it wont be a year and a half old, up to date, and a winner . If you got the bucks buy the best! Right Dave...:D

[Shred918]

That is it I am going to get my car together and have beaner boy win a couple for me so I can sell mine for 20+k

[ffrank]

Jeff, dont let that gardner pursuade you to the dark side. Race your own car and do your own thing. 20k ????uuuhhmmm... NO! Call Lothringer, Messick, Seagrove and see what a turn-key car cost. Trust me when I say its expensive. Beaner Boy is "Goin" down!!!! Kevin, can he race the "Lil Blue Pill" in November with that Nut Farmer?

[9rocky]

I got a car that goes pretty good for sale with a complete and extensive spares package for half that amount.

[Haney motorsports]

It opened my eyes as well,but Frank is right,It cost alot to build a car from scratch and then poduim almost every race with few dnf's. The dnf part is worth some good coin alone

When I bought the super car I forgot about having to drive it as fast as it was used to.. Mr T had a handle on that.. Im still workin it. No regret buying a winner at all.

[Haney motorsports]

Why Kevin......Your car is a 2 seater I would list it for at least 30K

[Haney motorsports]

Don't forget the Silcock Beam too Kevin,thats one thing I don't think the rash's have

The DNF factor is huge. That is something I looked at closely before I bought ours and I am glad I did.

[BUDMAN975]

my new car is very simular to this car and I have to say that if I had to build my car from scratch it would have costed me more than 25K, but because I had the engine wheels/tires Etc.. and got a great deal on my trans I was able to spend significantly less, I think the car is definetly worth it, maybe not for me but for someone who wants to get into racing and start out in a competitive race car.

[C-nutz!]

And for an extra donation you will get a trip with ME! to the secret room you always hear of but never get to experience!!!!!...........Just a little incentive!

[ACME]

Nice! Hope to see some of the 9'ers up there! I'll be at one of the sessions, hit me up I'll buy you a Fresca!

[Shred918]

Not to put this thread back on track or anything but...............

Ok I can see building a new car could be 25K if you never pick up a wrench. I would guess around half of that cost to be labor.We are talking a new car though.

Now to buy a used car that cast 25k new and have a season or two on it. I just cant presonally see the justification here.

[doug969]

When I built my single seat in 05 I had about 13k-14k in it and thats with me already having the motor,trans,shocks,front end parts,drums,brakes and doing the wiring/plumbing myself. I got a smokin deal on the fuel cell and ran a manual clutch and did almost all the tabbing. I paid roughly 7k for a mild steel chassis,body,shifter set up,sell mounted and steering set up. I have called around and most guys want 30k-40k for a top of the line turnkey 9 car and that was about 3 years ago.

I'm with you...did the Shank and Maxwell cars sell??? You could have bought both of those for the price of this one! And the Shank car had a couple of championships on it.

If you are a seasoned racer and are looking to buy into 9, or move down a class....maybe it would be worth it. But behind any good car is an excellent prep person...no matter how good your car is, that's the limiting factor.

I hope it goes for top dollar...I'm going to be able to take mine to the Barrett/Jackson auction in a couple of years if that's the case!.....as you ACME guys say...I'm just sayin'.....

[EL Diablo]

I still just can't fathum that as a reasonable price. I wouldn't spend that kind of coin because a guy does a good prep and can finish podiums consistently. You can not buy a win. You could put Walters, Torres, Hughes, Or you Frank in a outdated car (i.e. single port, 2.0's) and your still going to finish up front. You have to know how to drive a nine car to be fast and get it to the finish. You all know you can't just put the pedal to the floor. If that single seat has $25 K in it, I'm the POPE!

[fullthrottle]

While at tech/contingency for the Snore 250 a guy had a very old green 9 car for sale for $18,000 which I thought was a misprint, Rash's car is much nicer and proven.

I know a top 9 car racer that will be selling two cars shortly. If we can get near these listed prices for top finishing cars, GREAT!:)

[BeanerBoy]

I barely have $25,000 in my 1600 and I think it is a top running 1600 ( when I don't try to run boulders over)!! If they can get 25,000 for the 9 I'll be selling my 1600 for $50,000, any takers??

[EL Diablo]

No No Corey. You have won races in the past, it's worth 65 K!!!!!

I cant afford to buy another car from you! :D

[9rocky]

Come on Dave, you know you like orange!!:D

[C. Bucher]

Seagroves puts out an incredible car but, I'm surprised with the price. I can see how it adds up though.

Shoot, if someone offered me $25K for my NEW 1600 car I'd probably take it. Oh, it's finished by the way! :)

[BeanerBoy]

I cant afford to buy another car from you! :D

Not to worry Dave I'll give you a killer deal since your a return customer $35,000 and I get my princess back!!!

[scottys-misfits]

come on now clint if uncle fffffrank had not brokered that deal on the 1600 car they wanted 32,000 for you would still be in the old beaner mobile

[Shred918]

Well I am guessing that with the cost of labor (me) and materials I think I should sell my 9 car for around 64,000.......


I am just sayin

[ACME]

So that makes the Wedgie still worth @ $7K IMO... $25K for a 9 car; puff puff pass, I agree with Pope JP-6.


PS if you don't go on the dez race gen discussion board and sign and send your letter and get involved in the Johnson Valley deal it won't be worth $5K... I'm just sayin

[harleys dad]

LOL 25 grand for a nine car LOL LOL Does he take rubber checks. Come on!!!

[redbaronrace]

hey guys i was just cruisin thru and read this thead , its a nice car but 25 k , i dont think so , i know i come on hear every once in a while and stir the pot but , the offroad builders are outta control . maybe we should use the small time builders and or do more our selfs and save the $$$$$$$$ i mean thers no geometry tricks with a nine . u cant do to much with the beam ,yur only gonna get 6.5 travel ther . the rear if u do yur home work and dont overthink it u can get an easy 10 maybe 12 . the chassis , i built some in the old days , everytube .120 and every tab 1/4 and still had to add 50lbs. guess im just saying gotta do your home work , get many different oppinions from the "big " guy to the broke dik and see what ya come up with . anyways good luck to all .

Whats the status of your car? I was thinking you were pretty close and wanted to take a look, learn a little if I could.:D
