Selling hillclimb equipment/car - $250 paid birddog

Post by Mopar 151w2 »

Vintage Mopar Gold Mine
Financial and medical circumstances compell me to sell a treasure trove of hardcore MOPAR racing parts, with great history and provenance. This is an unparalleled opportunity for a sincere vintage racer, to acquire a well developed small-block (LA) engine program, with transmissions, clutches, and more. It took me decades to find all this stuff, and develop it to a modern level of function, with truly vintage parts. Because of this, and other considerations, I will only sell certain items as individuals, and will listen to fair offers. Also, there is the possibility of accepting certain non-Mopar racing parts in partial trade. Looking for injected BBC or BBF, Jerico or T-101, maybe some Q.c stuff.....
There is some room for negotiation, as to what non-Mopar items go along with the deal (possibly including my unique, hand-built hillclimb car).
I am not quitting racing! But many of these parts have value far beyond my use for them, and I owe family serious money. This sale will make it possible for me to return to the seat, and keep my competition honest!
