That car is one of my favorites.

Really depends on the models we are talking about. Cooley was pretty adamant about building race cars and not dune cars from my understanding. They did build a few types of cars in the early 2000s. One was a light weight "dune focused" car and the others were built for desert/racing. A good example is the two cars I have in the garage right now. My car was originally built in 05 (rebuilt in 2015) but weighs 3200 lbs and has a TON of overbuilt parts on it. Albins, LS, full floater hubs, etc. Then the other car is a same gen 2 seat that probably weighs 1500lbs. 2D, J35, midboards, all lightweight parts. Since then there has been a ton of updates to their chassis into modern day. But one thing has always remained with Alumicraft is that they are built well, and for safety. And they are some of the best handling cars in the dunes and the desert hands down. I don't think there's been another most winning buggy company in desert racing as of recent.

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
-
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 The ratio is pretty wild haha

Someone who saw I was looking reached out

Thanks guys, the car will be for a buddy in our group. I’m gonna get it ready and then pass it off to him. That’ll be the 6th alumicraft in our group now haha
-
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.
-
Car has been found and purchased. Thanks guys
-
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.

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
-
WANT TO BUY - early 2000s Alumicraft. Preferably 2 seat, but 4 seat might work. Not interested in other builds. Please send me what you have. PICTURE FOR ATTENTION and reference

16’ flatbed, about 19’ overall. 98” wide inside rails, 102” wide overall. Drive over wheel wells. Has a 1 year old 5500lb winch on it, battery and storage box. 5 leaf springs with extended u bolts. 3500lb axels, 7k max tow cap. 2 5/16th ball. Will fit a full size car - $4500 obo

Yep, has plenty of room for a big bed up there, has a small bathroom and cooktop, and will have room for the car after some edits
-

Yep, would need to be an 8 foot wide minimum. Forgot to include that. Your unit sounds nice, but probably a bit on the higher priced side than what I'm looking for i'd imagine. This trailer will probably just be a gap bridger for this season into next. PM what your timeline and pricing looks like and i'll see if it makes sense. Thanks TJ

Could be interested in the 24', the 16 is too small. Bit of a hike to pick up but shoot me some photos and ill take a look thanks
-
Putting my feelers out there for an enclosed trailer. Looking for something in the 22ft range. Doesn't need much and doesn't need to be pretty. Definitely not looking for something near new. A window would be nice, and a bathroom even better as I'd be using this trailer for prerunning and overnight desert trips. Let me know what you might have, not afraid of a trailer that needs some work. Willing to trade my flatbed towards the deal with cash on my end as well
-
Thanks! We are definitely in the market. But we are looking to do a complete renovation on one, so looking in the $10k range. I have a line on one for even cheaper but it needs a lot of work. While this one isn't out of the ballpark of the current market, it's out of my price range. GLWTS though!

Hey guys, Thought i'd post my motorhome up here as well. It's up on the internets elsewhere and i've received quite a few hits but I'm tired of dealing with weird people. So if someone on here is interested, i'll definitely take a discount. Here's the info: 2011 Coachmen Freelander by Forest River 23CB Class C Motorhome. In fantastic shape with 66k miles on the gas V10. Received a complete inspection and all fluids changed in March of 2022, receipts available, only 1,000 miles since. I bought this unit last year from the original owner who was an older gentleman who had this motorhome garaged. It has a new roof from RVroof.com that is sealed tight with no leaks. Brakes stop hard and the tires are in great shape. Has a 5k hitch receiver with a tow package as well as a brake controller. 4kw Onan generator with only 205 hours absolutely purrs and the coach also has a built in 20 gallon LP gas tank. This unit is perfect for touring as its size is ideal for national parks, or navigating tight streets. It served us very well, but we are looking for something to leave at our campsite for next winter instead of traveling.
