A replica was sold last nite at BJ.
Anybody see it and know what make?
It had no doors and 2 Barrel Cab.
Sold for approx $45,000.00 I think.

Yeah, It sold for $48,000. No doors and automatic trans. They never said what make it was.

Now, for a good laugh, check this one out.. he must be a politician.. kinda streaching the truth.

Hey Al, that competition csx cobra that was supercharged with the turkey
pan was race ready for sure!:D

Which is odd, as the car sure seems nice enough to speak for itself. Other than the short/funky rollbar (and the winshield tilted all the way down to make the bar not look so short) it is a pretty fine looking car !

What does that mean, "Previously Titled as a Surety Bond?"

Another one just sold for 35,000 about two hours ago. I can't bring up the link, but it was lot # 407. I think it was an ERA w/automatic trans. I only saw the last thirty seconds before it was rolled off. Any info???

They said it was a Unique about thirty five seconds before they rolled it off. **)

Timing is everything!

A surety bond is a three-party instrument between a surety, the contractor and the project owner. The agreement binds the contractor to comply with the terms and conditions of a contract. If the contractor is unable to successfully perform the contract, the surety assumes the contractor's responsibilities and ensures that the project is completed.

Sounds complicated for a car build. Does it mean that the Surety assumes liability in the event that the builder defaults or just responsibility for completion of the build?

That 4000 series is a VERY nice looking ride. The only full bar I've seen that looks good.

So if a car is "Previously Titled as a Surety Bond" who holds title to the car and, presumably, is able to convey ownership (not just possession)?

Did anyone catch the discrepancy in the description "This Best of Show winning roadster performs as well on the street as it does competing for First Place trophies." and then wraps up claiming it was never raced?

I noticed that but figured maybe they had just taken it out on some road course on an open track day once to see how it would handle. Really never figured it had been pushed very hard if it was a top show car.

Ron :confused:

I think it's meant to be first place show trophies, not race trophies.

Maybe he was competing for car show trophies, not race trophies.:LOL:
