85 UrQ for sale

[Bill Elliott]

With a heavy heart... and after much internal conflict, I have decided
to (probably) sell my '85 UrQ along with several other cars. I simply
have too many projects, too many irons in the fire, too little garage
space, and too little money in the bank.

As many of you know, I am somewhat of a car junkie and will buy cars
when  I see something I like at an excellent price.  Most times, I make
a bit of money reselling these cars at the right time or after doing
some work on them. So when I tell you I'm planning to sell the cars for
less than I have in them, you know they will be fairly priced (or
lower).

I haven't decided how much or how little to sell with the '85 UrQ...and
before I put together a package and a long description I wanted to gauge
whether anybody on the list might want first shot.

The car is in very good mechanical condition (much very fresh) , good to
very good cosmetic condition (original paint with minor issues), has
135k on it, huge service records, etc... and many tasteful mods.  The
price will be in the $9-11k range, more or less depending what one would
want or not want with it. I'm not even going to talk about how much I
have invested...

The car is perfectly driveable as is but will not pass IL emissions
thanks to a huge cam. (CO is well within specs at 0.5%, but HC are
pushing 300 on a 220 spec) I have a stock cam as well...

If there's any interest, please contact me offline for details.

Other cars that will be for sale in the near future and their
approximate prices (again, depending what state of completion one would
want):

'70 Lotus Europa S2 needing paint ($3000)
'60 Berkeley T-60 needing everything (one of 11 in the US, $2200)
'51 Riley RMB 2.5 (basket case and a truckload of spares) and '53 Riley
RMF 2.5 (1 of 1050 total, a very desirable and rare car, complete and
running but needing restoration) package deal  $3000
'66 Corvair Coupe 140/4sp complete running car needing restoration $800
'86 Jaguar XJS V12 nice car needing some minor TLC  $4000
'8? Formula 440 race car with open trailer, no logbook, complete, $2000
'96 Heavy Duty Race Trailer (removable box/tirerack, 20' open deck, new
tires) $2000

No reasonable offer will be refused on anything... and I would consider
trades that included a serviceable enclosed trailer over 20' long.
