Here’s one of what are likely 100's of victims stories. This is on RoadraceAutoX

As far as I know this guy was doing these thefts all over the south for nearly a decade. He may have done 300, 400, 500? thefts including from my team. Probably far more than most thieves, he deserves it.

Restitution! This bastard hit my co-driver at Road Atlanta ARRC in about 2007, it ruined our weekend. He has been doing this for a long time. $100k theft, $200k?

Raced against it last year, surprisingly quick. I guess you can kill a GM 3.8 V6 afterall......

No they wouldn’t, however they would scare the crap out of any machine shop, tuner, or fabricator you do work with. Don’t believe me, try getting your cat converter cut off by an exhaust shop. 95% won’t do it.

Great read. thanks

What I liked about the 1750 Berline was it’s 5 speed and 4 wheel disks. I owned a red ‘69 1760 with euro cam and dual webbers 1750. I’ve never driven a 2002 so who knows.

Other X-11 pictures from the day. The bumper clips are for flat towing with another ‘84 X-11.

Alfa 1750 sedan of same era was better!

PS that trailer has junkyard GM X car hubs bolted to square tube frame. That way I had plenty of spare tires if I lost one towing. That trailer is now 26 years old and probably towed 100,000 miles with it. Bearings still as tight as new.

I thought the HP660 was an excellent engine. Never had a problem other than the oil pan related failures. Good question on the 135 HP. I can’t say. My race car certainly had more than that with real headers and worked on carb. I probably ran it to 6000+ every shift.

Don’t get me started on the GLH. I owned two Bought the first used w/o AC, then 2 years later I bought another used with AC and sold the first. Based on serial number the both wire likely built the same day.

I owned two; an ‘84 that was my street and tow car and an ‘81 that was a race car from ‘90 to ‘94. The tow car was bulletproof, with the only problem being the computer. Whenever it coded, I would pull the glovebox and rock the ROM chip to reset it. I could do it while driving!.

Did you say ‘81 Citation?

I also rented a 200 and had exactly the same feeling. The tranmission basically worked, and I thought if I owned one it would be fine. Some quirks true, scared as hell about reliability, true, but the thing worked and did a fine job. I agree, how many of those that complain have actually driven one......

Learned something today. Wonderful bit of writing Tyler.

Not the droid for me, no sophistication in brakes or suspension. Pretty as it is, it’s a hornet car that you can only race at the fairgrounds.

Did somebody say unlimited miles?

Nice price if the buyer cleans it up in an old school racing way.. I always approve of cheap, reliable, no guilt fun. The way I look at it, it’s a 914 6 that you can afford to hoon.
