What is your budget?  I know a guy with a really nice one.  I think it is 2005.

The one that’s asking $65k with the Subi and S5? 
 

Looking for something cheapish. Doesn’t matter if it’s rough around the edges. Just looking for the great bones of Alumicraft. But honestly interested in looking at any that are forsale. There may be a buyer in our group for it

Yeah, that one.  I just heard he was selling it, and had not seen it listed anywhere.

It really is a sweet little car.  This is an older pic before the double shock conversion, new engine, and new S5.

Wish I could’ve had a shot at it before he put all the big stuff on it. Would love to find one that is still a light weight pocket rocket.

Congrats on finding one.  I'm still looking for one to buy or borrow so I can copy the chassis. .

It’s a cool little sled. Needs a new motor and some love, but it will be a ripper. Going to stab a new motor in it, do a mild rewire, full prep and see how it does.

It’s locked up. Overheated. Yea it’s a J35 with a pretty big turbo. Apparently it had 390 to the tires. Not positive about that, but wouldn’t be surprised

The owner reached out the day after I posted, just took a few days to make it happen

With how locked up this motor is I think it's gonna need heads too, probably better to just replace the whole shebang. Appreciate the offer though
