Default ** F/S PorVette Overall and ES Winner plus Race/Tow Rig

First I'd like to thank you all for your support and input in helping to make this car a strong race winner. Now it's time to take a brief break from racing, while I build a house and home for the family (since I'm newly married).

The PorVette is at its peak potential, and is available for a very lucky buyer. Over $100k invested in top notch components and development.

Trades are also possible with Construction Professionals.

Race Rig also for sale as a package with car or separately after call sells (see info at end of post).

To buy PorVette or PorVette & Race Rig, contact Steve Rea at (310) 913-0742 or at lifeisgoodracing@yahoo.com .

Wow, too bad you have to sell but having a family beats having a race car any day so I understand. I enjoyed watching your build-up and racing success. Hopefully you wont be out for too long. Cool car, cool setup, good deal.

Steve - I didn't get to meet you in person but raced with you guys at the 25 last year. Your car is fast and well-prepared, this will make somebody a very nice enduro car for sure! Your hauling setup is also very nice. Best of luck with the sale and congratulations on getting hitched!!

Congrats Steve on the wedding and new house project.

I love my family. My boys now 9 and 15 come out to the races. My 15 year old is my crew chief, spotter and radioman. Both boys drive their karts at the track while I am racing and my 15 year old is actively racing his kart.

We have a great time together.

Can you send me pics of the tow rig? Or post them someplace? Looks cool! Good luck with this sale and the house. Looking at a similar decision soon, though I'll keep tracking in some form.

Thanks all for your kind words and support! Yes, I feel a lucky man to have a great wife, and look forward to enjoying a family too.

I just put up a photo of the truck on the site. I apologize that for now I just have 1 photo, but am heading to the truck very soon to clean it up and take more (it's 1/2 hr. away in a gated storage facility).

Photos updated with a few:

While I certainly prefer to sell the car first, there is a chance I could make arrangements with race buddies to borrow their trailers if I sell my rig first.

Found a very interesting piece of land for a home, so would love to sell.

Reduced prices:

PorVette price - $34,900 or best offer
Racing/Tow Rig price - $14,900 or best offer
PorVette & Racing Rig combo price - $44,900 or best offer


There is a lot of good interest in the Tow Rig, so I dropped the car price only.

Make me a reasonable offer and let's talk.

Thanks,

Steve
