Carey and the Beck Boys are well on their way to resurrecting my Speedster, and it should be available from them soon.  Here are some pictures of it just out of the paint booth with the new front end on it.  They're going to refurbish the interior after 10+ years of me driving it and exposure to the weather, as well as add a couple of mechanical upgrades.  It will be a lovely car for someone.

Dang, that's a pretty red!!  Maybe I should go that way with the Coupe instead of blue.   Nah!  Time for a change.

That steering wheel. 

I think I'd have swapped that out before letting the car go....

Yeah, I agree.  I've asked Carey to send it back to me.  I can use it for garage art.

EDIT: Oh, now I get what Ed's saying.  Ed, I'm afraid it doesn't really look that good any more.  I sorta bent/broke it with my face, hence the repurposing as garage art.

WOOHOO!!!!

The Speedster has been sold to a fine fellow named Pete Ortiz, who I expect to be blessing us with his presence in short order.  He's already planning on Carlisle 2020.

Yep Looking forward to meeting you guys and enjoying my new passion .Thanks to Lane for helping me get over the hump and moving forward with the purchase. Past 20 years or so been focused on antique BMW motorcycles  Before that 911s so coming back to my roots can't wait to get my hands on it .

PETE!   Nice to see you in here, giving that Speedster a new chapter in its' life.

This is the build team who built that car in two days at the Carlisle Kit Car Show in 2006.  I am sure that Carey and his team have made it better than ever!

The build is covered towards the end of this video, so enjoy this, too.  This is what a lot of the Carlisle meet is all about - Good friends and good times:
