FOR SALE: Everything

[renichms]

Unfortunately, Mephisto is for sale. Mephisto sells with all parts currently installed and all parts I still have that have been replaced with new parts (stock hood, wheels, antenna, roof rack rails all come with car). Nothing from the car is for sale without the car.

I also have a turbo kit and all the engine build pieces (should arrive at my house any month now...) to make a Bob Stockum beast. These are also for sale, but not without the car until the car sells. I prefer to sell those WITH the car, but if someone buys the car without them, they're up for grabs.

Without the engine build and turbo bits, I'm starting the car for sale at $25,000. With the turbo kit ($2000+) and engine build pieces ($4000+), it's $30,000. The car was originally purchased for $20,500 and has more than $25,000 or so in it.

It does NOT come with the trophies I have won with the car, but here is the record so far:

Swap the video amp input and the screens then display the computer's video input.



If anyone needs details beyond this, I can help. Any purchaser also gets full instructions on use of ALL aspects of the car and can contact me later if they need help with something. For example, I can provide a list of parts the engine build kit has.

This car is ready to win shows right "out of the box." Its current setup should win at NOPI nationals. Add engine build kit and it becomes a contender in the dyno contest there as well.

If you have questions, ask here, email me at robert@schoolsubjects.com or PM me. If you're serious about buying it, I can give you my phone number as well.

Sorry to see it go. Hopefully it goes to someone who appreciates it as much as you do and realizes what has been put into the car (not one of those egos that claims all the tech credit for buying a canned show car). I realize that you require more practicality for the only car you have space for and Mephisto certainly doesn't meet that bill anymore.
If you need another spot to store the Cruiser and insure it gets taken out for a proper stretch on weekends until sold, I can make space in my garage. :}
Have you got all the current specs, awards and pics on a site somewhere? Just so I can direct any potential interest.
Good luck with the sale Rob, enjoy the WRX (STI model?) and I hope to see posts of a new PT project car before long. Remember don't go nuts on the WRX mods so you can still swing the next PT. You can use the WRX for fetching air line fittings ;) .

Excepting possibly a turbo timer and radar jammer (and iPod, if you count that), the STi won't be modified. And yes, watch for a new PT project...bigger, better, badder than ever before.

The website does not have current pics and info. When I get back from the beach, I will be putting new parts in the air ride, cleaning it up and getting up-to-the-minute pics. I'll try to post it all then.

I'm going to try to sell it all with the car but if that doesn't work, I'll try to sell it together. If that doesn't work, the parts go up for sale.

As far as PTs go, I already have the next one planned out. Everyone wait patiently and this next one will make Mephisto pale in comparison...and it'll come out fully finished to start with. :)

So you're getting another Pt. GREAT!!!! :)

[2 TONE PT]

Come on Rob you can tell us what you've got planned for the next PT. We won't tell ;) . After all some of us never seem to leave this site (except to check on the cruiser).

I sent you an email. Did you get it?

It'll be a few more days before I can get emails. The only reason I'm on is I brought my laptop on vacation and it just happens my grandparents wanted me to set up a wireless network on their DSL connection and I happen to have a wireless card... Email is run through my big computer.

As far as the next PT, it has one big feature in common with the permanent convertible Monte Carlo at the shop that does all my work...but one more door than that Monte Carlo. Expect the entire vehicle to be ALL custom with little in the way of bolt-on parts and expect it to roll on a trailer. Also expect it to be VERY fast, VERY loud and to turn heads. }})
