Ive been stalking the message boards a lot lately but had not had the chance to really do anything else related to legend car racing until today. First, got to meet a ton of people I will be racing against once I get a car. Second, I have a, what I think, reasonably priced package to help me get started in this series.
My main reason for posting is that I really want to get honest opinions about the package.
Heres the deal, the seller is asking $8,500 which is $4,000 more than what I have in my name. I am working 80 hours a week so I can get a legend car but I would love to run a few summer stampede races over the summer if I can talk my dad into loaning me the amount I cant afford yet so I can race while continuing to work insane hours haha. I love kart racing but legend cars are what I want to spend my weekends in more than anything right now!!
"For sale is a '34 Chevy Coupe that was raced for one season in 2007 and a few races in 2008. Has not been on the track since. The car also comes with a few extras, spare bumpers, spare .358 gear (ring and pinion), wheel base gauge, toe plates, caster/camber gauge, 2 five gallon gas tanks and a metal holder for them, quick jack, four jack stands, fan, spare fuel pump, new front grill, and that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Will need new front fenders and tires. Currently has the BFGs and not the new Federal Tires.
"Price also includes a 7'x12' v-nose enclosed trailer."
The cars body looked like it was raced hard

Possible blown engine or something?

Thank you for any and all honest opinions!! You can send links of used car buying guides, I have seen a bunch but maybe I didnt see the one you have?? I have also kept up with the forum for a few months now and have a good idea about its worth, just looking for a second opinion from someone not related to the car or seller that is around these cars a lot. you guys rock for keeping this forum going!!! thanks for being open and being willing to share anything and everything!!
