Alas,,,,,,,,,,,,once again I must report my sale of the Excalibur, car #33. I hope the new owner "Mitch" and his lovely wife will be stopping in here soon to tell us all about how things are going! It wasn't really "for sale", sometimes, things just happen. Heck, it wasn't for sale last time either! Whats up with that???
My Classic Roadster at DV's shop in Ohio will soon be done and will be shipping out to Hawaii. Is it better than the Excal? Tough call! In some ways, NO, in some ways, YES. Time will tell. Darn, I miss that car all ready,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what a great ride Excals are! The C.R. did not sell and I can't keep both
I hope to be cruising with Mitch and car #33 as soon as the C.R. gets here!

visiting rights?
Ernie,
Not again!
Perhaps Mitch will allow you to visit 'ol #33 once in a while?
I bought an old car from a guy a few years back. He turned down offer after offer until one day I suggested he could have "user rights"! It must've been enough to convince him that I would treat his baby as if it was still his.
Did you keep a spare set of keys?

Pretty soon the sales taxes paid will exceed the value of the car.
If it was California, you would be there already.

"Classic Roadster" vs "Excaliber"
Ernie,
Now that you've sold your Excalibur...AGAIN, and will be driving one of her cousins, a CR; does that mean you'll be changing your username here too?

I've thought about it, but can I keep it for the "memories"? A tribute to the great car? And after all, I wouldn't rule out having ANTOHER one somewhere down the road!
I had dinner with the new owners last night. How delightful talking story about the Excal and Cobra history into the night! Looks like the new owner and myself will doing some work on car #33, isn't that great??? I look forward to staying involved with the car in different ways!
I DO have to let it go though, it belongs to Mitch now and I must fade to black and blend into the background. I DO hope he keeps us informed of it's future adventures!
Ernie

Ernie,
I think Mitch is a lucky guy, he got a great car and a former owner with separation anxiety who just happens to be a mechanic. Sounds like a lifetime warranty to me.
I just can't believe you sold it again after everything you went thru last time. How many times have you been married?

Tom,
Are they going to use the Excalibur name? I'm sure they won't be DOT approved, will they?

No way they could be DOT approved, no way they can offer 100% turn key cars. It would be the same deal as buying a Kirkham, SAI r ERA car. Take it "across the street" to the "other contractor" to get the motor/trans installed.
Good to see Excals being built again though!

Excalibur?
Doug...I'm not positive but I believe the answer is yes.
I asked Nick to post here to keep us informed.
As you know, Jens was adament that he would NEVER...EVER have his Excalibur JAC be marketed as a "Kit".
Ernie...you're right...it's good to see the bloodline continue |

Does this mean that lowly me may be able to get parts for my Excal body in the near future and also some accurate measurements. This is way cool, considering that all that I got was a body and have built just about everything else from scratch. Thanks for coming along now, I may need you soon!

I SPOKE WITHT HE "NEW EXCALIBUR" GANG AT CARLISLE, PA THIS PAST MAY. THEY SEEM TO BE A GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS THAT REALLY HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER.
AT THAT TIME:
** THEY WERE GOING TO CONTINUE THE USE OF THE EXCALIBUR NAME. THAT CAR WAS GOING TO BE THE "EXCALIBUR II".
** NO DOT COMPLIANCE.
** NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AS A KIT.
** TURN KEY WITH THE ENGINE OF YOUR CHOICE INSTALLED "ACROSS THE STREET".
OF COURSE THINGS CAN CHANGE FROM DAY TO DAY.
I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE GUYS. (THAT'S NOT SAYING A HELL OF A LOT SINCE I WAS ONCE "IMPRESSED" WITH MY EX-WIFE).
I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF USING THE THUNDERBIRD I.R.S.
I WISH THEM WELL AND I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE ONE OF THE NEW CARS COMPLETED.
I HOPE THEY WILL "POST-UP" HERE FROM TIME TO TIME TO KEEP US IN THE LOOP.
Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,
BLACKJACK

I DUNNO - - -
I THINK I FORGOT TO ASK THEM.
THERE WAS A BIT OF SALUBRIOUS LIBATION BEING CONSUMED AT THE TIME.
I SEEM TO RECALL ONE OF THE GUYS SAYING THAT THE PRICE WOULD BE "ABOUT THE SAME" AS THE ORIGINALS - WHEN COMPLETE WITH ENGINE AND GEAR BOX.
