august Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I've been working on this car for the past five years, and I'd love to see it go to a good home, with an owner who can truly appreciate it's rarity.

august Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dam nice looking!!! I wish it's located closer... V-M do you think it would be worth advertising this overseas? i'd imagine shipping would be pricey, but it's a 'no rust' 505. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Damn... Black on Black... Hope you sell it to someone who will love it and cherish it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 That car is probably the nicest looking 505 I've ever seen. I hope you can find a buyer who appreciates it and treats it well. Does this mean you're leaving us or do you have more 505's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean you're leaving us or do you have more 505's? i've still got the monster 86 turbo project car (which is actually running, horray!!). still needs a fair amount of time to work the bugs out, but that'll be a fun report to write up once done.

norcal505 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 august, i'm pulling the strings right now to try to make this happen. I'm crossin my fingers that this will not sell at least for a few more months, but my guess is the it will be sold as quick as the car is itself. by the way, do i need to stress the necessity of videos of your 86!

Justice Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I hope so too! The link for all interested: eBay auction 2500 is not a lot of money for a 505 Turbo that looks like the best one out there currently! Good luck, may a good future owner pay the right price for it!

Shoot, I fell asleep before the bidding ended. I noticed most of the bidders had 0 feedback. That's never a good sign. Let us know how it goes, my offer is still on the table.

norcal505 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 sorry to hear that man. The car is most defineately worth at least $5k. hopefully the car sees a future as good as its history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Damn! I forgot about the auction till just now... Made me sick to see the price, then came here to see the updates. If this is the price you're willing to sell it for - I'll seriously talk to the wife about buying this as my DD. For that price it's a crazy steal. PM me if the car is still for sale. I'd fly down and drive it back if I can swing it. (BIG if - but repairs and body work will exceed this price on my 85' if I keep it as my DD.)
