I have a client's 1955 Thunder Ranch 550 Spyder which was manufactured in 2010 for sale. This 550 started out as a Thunder Ranch base kit. Has over 100+ hours in body work done to ensure proper fitment. The final state this 550 Spyder is, its prepped and ready for paint in our paint shop ready for the new buyer to chose the color.

The elderly gentlemen who currently owns this 550 Spyder wants to sell due to difficulties getting in and out of it. He originally was going to paint it white, I told him to hold off on paint since he mentioned he wanted to sell it after its painted.. this way the new buyer can choose the final color.

Engine made 113 torque and 54 horsepower at 2,500 RPMs, moved up to 117 torque at 4,000 RPMs, and at 5,000 RPMs it made 99 horsepower at 104 torque and held 99 horsepower to 6,000 RPMs. Little torque monster! I have the dyno print out sheet if needed. Will be provided with sale of vehicle.

You choose the paint color, pick it up and re-assemble. What you will need are as follows: rear engine grilles (pair), some minor rubber seals/gaskets for headlights/rear grilles, light bulbs... I'll throw those in, carpet... off the top of my head, I believe everything else is there and if not, we have everything in stock to purchase. This is a good friend of mine, he's just getting too old to enjoy it unfortunately, luckily for him is that I can drive him in 550 Spyders whenever he feels like cramming into one

Please email or call Daniel at Seduction Motorsports. I know you're all going to ask for pictures. I hope to have some by tomorrow posted online. He has far more money into this project, asking $20,000 OBO for a quick sale. Sold as-is, no warranty. PLEASE DO NOT PM ME... I reply the fastest via email. Thank you.
