From the photos enclosed....two questions.
Are the Stop sign and crosswalk signs permanently attached to the windscreen or are they removable?
Is the really a tree growing in the center of the car?
If so is it a hard Maple tree?........
Do the leaves come off at high speeds?
Car looks great as usual.....

Poolw · #6 (**permalink**) 08-09-2006, 03:32 PM

This way you don't have to stop if you carry your own sign, but they are removable. The car has a steam engine and the tree is the fuel. The leaves are fixed and remain at speeds under 180 mph. Thanks, on the looks great.
P.S. it also runs great.

I'm diggin it but I REALLY don't like having the stop sign and crosswalk sign... How much will you knock off if you KEEP the tree and signs?

farkedup · #8 (**permalink**) 08-10-2006, 03:07 PM

Serious questions now: What speed is about the max in 1st, 2nd and 3rd? What does the tach say at 70-80MPH. I'm looking for a solid cruiser that'll get decent gas mileage at both 60 (back roads) and 80 (freeway)

Poolw · #9 (**permalink**) 08-14-2006, 06:31 AM

Honestly I can't say what the max is in 1st, 2nd and 3rd because I never rev it over 5000 rpm, but I can tell you the the tach is reading about 1900 rpm at 70 in 5th. Fifth gear is .65

Wow Warren,

I can't believe no one has brought it!! Dropped my price from $34,000 to $32,500 or best offer. Had about 4 interested parties, 2 were going to come out to see it, but didn't. They were from MI & MN. Once they see it I know it will be gone.

I would have to agree with that.
Sometimes it's hard to get abuyer to come from outta state.

Good luck with your sale.

Poolw · #13 (**permalink**) 09-20-2006, 09:08 AM

Well, I dropped the price to $30,000. After this maybe I'll just give it to the next person that yells at me "I Love Your Car Man!"

Ya can't just yell "I LOVE YOUR CAR MAN"!!!!!! in an email and expect me to give it to you. Beside I recently received serveral inquires from interested parties. She may have a new home soon, and I expect she will be well loved by her new owner.

Poolw · #16 (**permalink**) 10-10-2006, 09:03 AM

Well my baby left me this morning. She was sitting pretty on a open trailer. God did she look exceptionally fine sitting up there. I'm sure her new owner will be getting alot of attention as they head down the road together.

The car was sold 10/10/06. She will be missed.
