I previewed a solid SPB last Friday with a friend.
Owner owns a race shop -- built it for himself -- but family and other race cars are usurping his time and money.
Owner is asking a firm $15K -- and frankly thats a steal.
It's a good solid car. Not much time on the engine, new to the car tranny clutch
I wish my buddy had bought it (he's already got an E30) -- keep me from buying it as a backup.
Prefer a local Austin person buys it so I have a travel buddy -- but I'd like it to find a nice home either way.
PM me if you want more information or a relatively unbiased opinion.
