Here is a Speedster that I was working on a couple of years ago. The price was a little too steep so I passed.
This is one of those cars where you build a wooden stretcher and carry it out like a shooting victim, so it makes it home in one piece.

Reminds me of one I inquired about a few years ago. The doors, nose, rims and rear hanging from the rafters of his garage. He wanted $10,000 and I thought that was too much. I often think of so "many" ones that got away, especially with the price of speedsters doubling soon after their 50th anniversary.

I am currently working on one right now that is "in the rafters", it is a Mercedes-Benz Gullwing, wrecked at the Glen in the 60s, and put into the rafters for "spares", the reason he held on to it is underneath is the all original driver Gullwing.
Wish me luck!
