Water buffalo interior, custom two tone paint, 3.88 transmission. One owner, registered as a specialty built vehicle, no smog test required. Completely sorted out, including a VDO conversion on the tachometer. Asking $22,500.

Post pictures of the water buffalo interior - that is a gotta see!

Here are a few more photos

Jim - your car's paint scheme was one of my favorites at Morro Bay! Hope our paths cross again in the near future.

I also liked your car very much and took a few pictures of it. I think you're selling it too cheap!

I dunno, i never saw a red water buffalo in nam, just sayin...

It's got beehives!

ps: Saw some dead water buffaloes in nam, ate some in Thailand, tough but more flavor than beef.

Accidently shot a water buffalo in Nam. Interior of the car is much better looking.

I applied a splint and administered morphine to a water buffalo in nam...

Jim - I have a feeling that a car as nice as yours won't be on the market very long! Best of luck!

El Guapo:
Thanks for saving the water buffalo I accidentally shot. I really didn't mean to hit him/her, whatever.

hope u didnt apply that to the body count

Whenever we killed a water buffalo (happened more than I care to mention) we (army) had to pay it's owner...The people were freebies

I am taking Troy's advise and putting it on e-bay for $24,500.00 next week. If any of you still want the $22,500.00 price, call me soon at 702-683-1724.

Best of Luck on your sale, Jim! Someone out there is looking for that car!

It reminds me of Alice Cooper's Speedster, I like the two tone paint!

I'm doing my part to keep these wide bodies rolling, but man I can't buy everyone of them! Why are you selling it Jim?

I have my eye on a Shelby Cobra Replica!!!

James-here's an interesting site: http://www.kirkhammotorsports.com/about/

Kirhams are great, but beyond my budget. I am focused on Backdraft.

Nice choice. BMW E36 suspension and slightly longer wheelbase. Body varies quite a bit from the real thing, but it's done tasefully and most folks won't notice.

A little off topic, but I always loved the Cobras until I saw a Speedster. I have had several Cobra owners mention how much more space there is in my Speedster and that they have a constant problem with the heat from the engine that is virtually sitting in their laps. Nice, but i will never own a Cobra.

My man Troy, you got it exactly right.

We are on e-bay now. Check it out!

James, that car has GOT to sell. It's about the slickest Speedster I've seen in a long time, and I hope to do something like that paint scheme on the one I'm building now (I'm getting tired of boring, mono-tone cars.....)

Good luck selling!!!!

It sold yesterday! I have loved every minute of ownership. This post started on 8/15/10 with a price of 22,500. On ebay, the buy it now price was 24,500 and I got a final bid of 7600. A dealer called a week later with an offer of 9500. I put it on the samba and only got a few phone calls. In the mean time I went to our Cars and Coffee as much as I could and finally last Saturday a guy got serious. The selling price was 19,000 and the car is now only 5 miles away and I have visiting rights.

Jim - the new owner got a LOT of car for the money! Glad you found the right buyer. Hope our paths cross again in the future...Pismo?

19,000 is a fair price in todays market, good time to be buying

I'm glad it went to a good home. That's one of my favorite widebodies.
Glad you got visitation, too. :)

James, James, James.... You never posted on here that you would have let it go for $19,000!!! I'm glad it sold, but sorry I missed out by not wanting to make a low ball offer.
Anybody else got a super wide body as nice as his that they will let go for $19,000??? Call me.
