The Speedster guys did it a bunch of times too. Not last year, I think, but most years in September. One guy brought a Lafer one year, supposedly.

I wrote about some guys a few years ago who were doing that with houses. Three are in jail now, two on the lamb in (I hear Canada) and two more in Israel.

Welting on mine. The originals had no welting but a tiny gap to allow clear drainage. A thin plastic washer should replicate that.

Mine is a Carlisle racing cover boy so that should add about 10,000.00

Touché

I think they’ll like it fine. It’d be great to put it next to the “real” Vert “D” and compare notes.

Yes. If the log book goes with it.

See? This is the problem. You guys need to hold firm on your prices, otherwise you’ll be letting ’em go for $3,500 just like always.

The bare light bulb on the top of the column and the use of a lug nut for a turn signal stalk knob are definitely unusual touches. I do like the removable rear window.

I believe that’s called a “SEG”:-)

You’re welcome to look all you want…just don’t look too close at mine.It’s good enough for who it’s for. Gabe is the craftsman.

Very nice, Paul. Congratulations. Do you have enough room in your garage? I know it’s large, but is it large enough?

Gorgeous car, Traitor.
