I dont understand the fascination with trying to buy one of the West Virginia cars
from what I remember those cars were built long ago by Eddie and are far from what is being run today. they are near obsolete in comparison to the ones Mike has been building.
maybe Mike could add to this
exactly, don't get me wrong the West Virginia Cars are absolutely beautiful, but there is no way they work as well as the modern cars out there. Elite has those cars way overpriced Im sure anyways. There are quite a few other AH cars that would be a lot better to buy,
Is Marvel's car still for sale?
Howes car is for sale
Supercuda, by far the best deal
Wescotts old car, proven winner
take your pick!! Screw selling a car just build another garage!!! lol
or just buy the mountain hemi, Tank Crosswhites new car, Holtons 65, or gtea's aluminum 64 and go SS/BA racing thats what I would do.....

i wish i could build another garage. building department wont let me add another inch of space.i have 3 variances already, and they dont want to see me anymore.i maxed out my 2 acre parcel.
i've been wanting a AH Hemi for quite a while.
i want the best car for the best deal.
the more information i get the narrower the search. all this information is greatly appreciated and i am taking it all in.
i'm not looking to be the fastest out there.
but i do want to be fairly competitive.
The more i see the Supercuda,the more i'm liking it.
i like the look of wendell howes car also but the outdated parts are holding me back a little. running 8.80's seems a little slow for this style racing imo.
the west virginia is a real car which i feel might be a plus for resale but now you guys are saying its old technology and the car needs to be updated and needs a motor and tranny and converter plus who knows what else at a premium price tag   .

West Virginia car was sold through Ebay over the summer. A little over 100 grand as a roller, but it WAS an original hurst car.  And the theory of a modern chassis pretty much goes out the window when you look at Daniels Dart. That is a much older Ken Keir chassis. I thought the Howes car was a good deal, but Warfords car is a great deal. Remove the lettering and Voila, Done!

Warfords car, no brainer! You would have well over half that amount on the engine alone! I don't love the graphics, but remove the lettering and go racing. Show car that GOES!!

Man Rick, that was a while ago! I don't even remember half of that stuff. Also, Superstockracer, if you think 8.80's in AH is easy to do, think again.
Mike
Also I think either car would work fine, Warford's is just a better deal for the money, and it's proven. Maybe not the newest, trickest stuff, but that doesn't really matter. Build a new 25.5 one and you'll find out how much it really costs.

trust me i know how hard it is to get 8.80's out of an ah car.
8.50's in warfords car is huge. getting .3 in this class costs thousands of $$$.
thats why best bang for the buck has to come into play.

The "Deals" are moving.
That is what everyone with cash right now is waiting for.
When you compare Wendells car to Warfords, Warfords is a "Deal"!
And the West Virginia car was/is a beautiful car, but no longer for sale.

Are you looking for a turn key car??? I seen in the SS/AH board that Stephen Herbert has his back-up car for sale..I have seen it in person..At Holts shop and it is amazing looks like a pro-stocker with a barracuda body on top..I think Herbert was going to put a big inch hemi in it for outlaw racing.. It would be fast right out of the box.. all of Holts stuff is very fast.. I think if you could get a SS/AH car to run in the 60's and 70's you would be fine...The Super Cuda looks like a killer deal..but the lettering would have to go
