Maybe they all sell as fast as they are put up for sale? I sold my Duster in 24 hours on Craigslist. It was more of a pro street car than a race car but it could've been used as a race car without too much work. It had a CM roll bar in it along with SFI belts and other safety gear.

How about this '71 Scamp for $9000. Seems like a great deal for a running drag car. Even has W2 heads.

Mine has been for sale for some time, but most who inquire want to put it on the street.
I've explained so many times why its drivetrain is not street stuff, I should have a recording.
Everyone who knows the car thinks it's a good deal, so I don't think price is the issue.
There's a lot of racecars on the market, just look at RacingJunk.

Is it Covid? Mask mandates coming back because of the the new variants. I still work from home after about 2 years. I have been looking for a 62 Dart wagon. Nothing. My take is most people are hunkered down. Waiting out rising inflation and hoping actual buying power returns.

Why would you tell them otherwise? If they read the description, and it clearly states what the car is, the only thing you should care about is if the money is green. What this sport defines as a street car varies person to person, don't try to interpret the definition for someone else. All you can do is be completely honest and straight forward, let them use it as they see fit.

I believe he is looking for a 6.0 or 7.50 car with a tigged moly cage and a funny car cage. Not a mig welded 8.50 car. Birdtracker

Exactly!!!... This is no longer the site to buy/sell cars or parts. Many other sites and social media tools are available. The ad count has dropped since a lot of potential buyers/sellers don't want to deal with the Infolink crap to post anything on this site.

This one looks nice but it is hard to know what he is exactly looking for. Maybe he should ask Al Aguire he seems to come across some nice stuff. I don't think there is a lot of 6.0 or 7.5 mopar chassis cars to begin with

The percentage of CM cars vs stock/back half cars is small. My local track has 100-150 cars on a regular points race day. Between Pro and Super Pro there might be a handful of CM chassis door cars and not 1 of them is a Mopar product. Even with tracks closing, typically the guys that can afford a full CM car aren't necessarily scrapping the bottom of the barrel living pay check to pay check so those guys are more likely to travel to a track if their local track closes. Like anything there are cars out there, but finding one can be difficult depending on your want list.

The ONLY reason mine is for sale is to raise money to move to Tennessee in the next year or two. I have two solid offers on it in the last week, and I am pretty sure I will regret selling it.

Are there faster cars? Yeah, Are there better setup cars? I doubt it...Is it easy to work on? Very....And its all legal to 8.50....Car repeated all last weekend within .01 and I went to the Semi's where I bulbed it on a .491 red light...Two race outings, and three finishes in the Semi's...Double entered first major outing.

You have to beat the bushes. Go to the track. Network. Lots of cars been sold word of mouth. People don't want to deal with scammers, low ballers, idiots and time wasters they attract with ads, regardless where they are posted. Cars that guys will sell but aren't advertising them.

Nice cars, ex-Pro Stockers, Top Sportsman, etc. I know of several that were bought. Never advertised. Don't know any now, but have been out of touch lately.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
