David: So, are you telling us your older IM is sold, or are you having delusions once again...
No delusions, Bob. It's gone and for a decent price too. I've never seen so many salmon coloured bills all in one pile. Now the Bride thinks her car goes into her side of the garage. Shyt....how will I buff the Roadster and work on the airplane if that happens, eh ? A Man's got stuff to do.........
Hope we'll see new owner post here! Doubt he'll have the iron butt you exhibited with that car. Wonder what his first touch of Madness will be?
Well, that was fast.

One week on Kijiji. We're not here to pyss around, Stan.
Did you tell the buyer about Carlisle? And SoC?
Wow, good for you!
Well done, lad. Now you can pour all that dough into your new IM. Or maybe take your sweet bride on a winter vacation...and put the rest of it to good use.

David---It's kinda sad that your Speedster has sold---after all the work you did, the huge miles you covered then the Suby conversion with the radiator designed even better than some established builders. What I'm leading up to is that we should establish an SOC museum and the first exhibit should have been your first Speedster.
Enjoy your new ride and sweet Frannie should get whatever garage arrangements she desires!
Wait. What did I miss?
TRP posted:Wait. What did I miss?
Lots.
When I first read the original post (was running out the door) I thought you were kidding!
Is somebody going to fill me in?

Thanks, Jack...but you are too generous with your compliments. I'm just a lucky guy that manages to figure things out sometimes.
Here's the final picture. Although they came with a truck and trailer, this new owner was so stoked he drove it home yesterday to the Niagara Region right through the Toronto traffic. Just in the nick of time too. Last night we got our first major snowstorm and five inches of the stuff. After taking the picture I turned around to find Frannie wiping tears from her eyes....we've got a lot of good memories from that car.
But like Mick Jagger said one time " ya gotta move on".
@David Stroud IM Roadster D did you keep your hard top, or did it go with the car when you sold it?
Well David, it is good that you sold it, even if it is hard to see the memories go it is a new season for you in that Roadster. Get planning to drive that one.

It went with the car. Almost didn't though as I was near to making a deal with one guy second on the list and he didn't want the roof. This new owner called me up at 9:30 PM, made the deal over the phone and told me he had the right amount of cash sitting in his pocket. I woke up the next morning to a text saying to look outside...he was in my driveway. We went to the bank and stuffed the cash where it belongs with a very wide eyed Bank Manager.
Oddly, I've exchanged several emails with the other lad that didn't want the hardtop and I was the one that beat him to the punch buying the Roadster about a month earlier. While he was kicking tires and making a low offer to Henry for MY Roadster I was on the plane to Vancouver to pick it up. Deal already done with a bank draft in my hand. So what's next ? The same guy that missed the deal on the Roadster, now misses the deal on the Speedster and now makes me an offer on the Roadster. A persistent lowballer. Strange.
David, the IM used market is not an easy market. Essentially with the limited supply it is hard to determine what the true price should be especially for a newbie. It is a learning curve for sure.... Newer cars or near new can sometimes be had for less than asking if the private seller gets to the end of his time frame and wants to get rid of it.
These days it seems the market is going a bit more to the seller than the buyer especially up here.
Just saying.

Just had a few squamous cell/basal cells removed from face and body
.....physicians and kids asking me to give up the open air IM6
. I love this car....one of my all time favorites and one of Henry's best creations. I truly considered that I would be buried in this amazing SPEEDSTER, the IM FACEBOOK moniker, but did not consider that it might hasten my DIRT KNAP!
I will take Thanksgiving to mull over my disposition but very likely might be sending her to a new home. My wife is not happy about all of the young barely-there bikini clad ladies that are attracted to the"cliche" Porsche and she is all for the new home idea.
It is nice to see that there is an appreciative niche market mindset for IM cars and this one is truly special. Wishing all in the forum a Happy Thanksgiving, a safe drive in their favorite car, and most of all GOOD HEALTH, our most valuable asset.
