Hi Tyla,

Yes, I decided not to buy the car and listed it on eBay instead for my friend on commission. I could have bought it myself for a fair price but I decided it was just too big of a project for me. He offered me 20% if I sold it for him on eBay which I found more than acceptable. I'd be glad to take any photos you want of the car.

Mr. Motion said it could be a Baldwin car but a search would be necessary to find out for sure. He left a number I'll try calling him tomorrow.

$1500 for a search, WOW!!!!!!!

Anyway, the auction closed at $4,606.56. The winner seems very excited and I'm glad. This car deserves to be restored. I'm sending him a link to this post so he can check it out and maybe you guys can help him out.

I wished that I had bid on that car. But, with 2 already, and both needing work, I just couldn't justify it. I hope that he enjoys it. |biggrin|

Alright now Randy, two is a set, after that you are collecting....if you start collecting macos/makos you'll be a big boy and get where you wont speak to me.....just kidding with ya man, but before you can buy a third fish you need to get one of yours driving.....how's the blower car coming along? ....remember the line from Mad Max, "The blower man, look at the blower!"
|biggrin|
You know the one I wish I could buy is that rough black one with the red Silva-ish stripes, don't know why but I'm drawn to that car.
Cheers. T.

I know, I know, my wife doesn't understand my need for more projects. Actually, I have been working on all the cars just about every evening. Progress is kinda slow, but I am moving forward. The blower motor is on the stand, minus the blower itself. Right now I am working on the latch set up along with a hinge modification to allow for a spring to aid in lifting that heavy hood.
I will be all over the place at carlisle, if there any sharks there, you can bet I will get us some pictures.
I just hate that we have to take the black c4 to the show, you know how those guys are with black c4s!
Later man. |laugh|

You wouldn't mind a used one would you?
Give me a "don't spend more than" dollar figure and I will see what I can do.
Looking at being in Orlando on oct 10 and 11 for the correct craft reunion. Looks like thats when I will bring you your hood and other stuff.
One of the guys is bringing a truck with us to carlisle, so we can haul it back if we find one.
let me know.
Later |thumb|
