Well, currently Spitfires are selling for $80,000 as we all know.
That's for a complete, running, driveable car. Which Killer is not. So
I would be willing to settle for 1/4th the price, $20,000. Oh what the
... for FOT members I'll cut it to $15,000.
I imagine JS Performance in Ohio could source a nice motor and gearbox
for a mere $30,000 or so. So far that would be $45,000 for a running
car. Way below the 80 grand mark! Such a deal!!
Okay, time to be serious. Knock a couple of zeroes off that $80,000 and
you'd be getting closer to what I would actually expect out of the car.
The wheels alone, Keizer 13 x 6 in the front, 13 x 8 in the back, are
probably worth a few bucks. Well, once cleaned up and polished. And
the rear spring, lowering block and welded diff are worth having, at
least to someone.
But the car has been sitting outside under a tarp for close to two
decades. It is dirty, rust starting to form on some surfaces. Not a
pretty sight. Pugs and I put a LOT of effort into building that car, it
deserves better than what I can give it. I am pretty sure I will not
get around to getting it going again in my remaining years.
Would be nice to see it come back to life. Who knows, maybe someday
some young kid will have a Buddy Palermo moment in the parking lot of
the VTR host hotel at a future convention, roaring around and scaring
the paying customers in a resurrected Killer.
A few pics of Killer as it sits at the moment. That rotting hulk of a
TR7 is another sad story. Sigh.
I will consider all offers. Offered as is, where is. My trick,
tilting, made for Spitfires trailer was stolen a few years back, so I
can't help with transport. The carcass sits in Salt Lake City, Utah.
