Default Johnny's racecar for sale

Well John posted his car for sale a couple times, well without any pictures, it's a hard sale. This is a car that we built, to WC specs, then has been updated since. Cheap, fast and good parts all around. Can you get much better??? You could be racing this for half the cost of building even a HPDE car. The car is located in the great state of NC, but can be moved via trailer. 35K will take it away today!!!

John,
This is where you tell about all the different parts and trick things. Jerico dog box?? 4xx cubic inch and things like that!!! What shocks are on the car??? How fast is it with you driving at different tracks??? How about someone fast driving??? Sorry I had to hit you below the belt just once during this post.

I have seen this car in person and it is an awesome ride. For what he is asking it would cost at least twice to three times that to convert a car you already own into this. Good luck with your sale Johnny.

Bump for an awesome car!
Wish I had seen it a year ago...
Do you happen to know where that hood is from and is it functional?

Thanks,

Daniel

Johnny,

Half the door is missing and there looks to be a lot of duct tape in the engine bay holding everything together. That is my kind of race car there!!! Good luck with the sale.

I'll see you this summer. Moving back to NC in June.

Sorry no can do!!

The guy that bought the Grand Sport also bought the Dodge in a package deal. Thought I had mentioned that to ya. Guy called on Sat, flew in on Mon and inspected them, Over nighted the funds on Tues, and a transport showed up 2 weeks later. Quickest, smoothest, and most painless transaction I ever made.

DING DING, we have a winner. the guy below (SDF) is near the missippi. Get it ready to deliver Johnny.

I can attest to this being one stupid fast car that is meticulately (Spelling?)prepared.

DRM builds quality cars and Johnny doesn't short cut with the upkeep on it.

TTT for ya!
