Donations being accepted...

[cdezzz]

So, most of you know I have a hard on for the Shaun Palmer's truck aka Pikes Peak truck. Shaun has decided it's time to sell and it's my mission to buy it... So, donations will happily be accepted. I won't know the price on in for a day or so.

The motor was never fixed, I have been assured it's nothing major, it starts and runs, makes a few popping noises. If everything goes right it will be at NATS!

I have been sytyless for about 2 years, I moved to Texas and no place to keep it. Since I have been back in Missouri I have been looking for a truck. I wanted a daily driver, but oh well. I am suppose to recontact him on Wed for more info on the truck and a price, will keep everyone posted.

Rumor is $68,500 but Chris should have the exact amount soon.

WOW! A price like that doesn't leave much room to bargain for a good deal. I would imagine the cladding wasnt cheap to modify but Id bet you could build another truck for that price.

I would bet you couldn't!! Basically this thing a NASCAR, price building an alumnium motor with a giant turbo that can be help at WOT for about 15 minutes, tell me where you come out, then I will tell you what else there is to the truck.

The cladding wasn't modified, the entire body panels were recreated in carbon fiber to mimick a Syclone (ala NASCAR) The tubular frame/suspension was all custom. I imagine the driveline have some $ spent on it as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the most expensive Syclone custom that was built (especially since you know Shaun Palmer didn't turn a wrench on it)

I don't think you believe me, if I told you what is invested in the truck.
