Storm Trooper Is Up For Sale

new 06/23/2004

Note from Uncl Lar: I'm not interested by and large in getting into the classified business. That's what www.shoclub.com is for. However, there are a handful of folks who have contributed so greatly to the betterment of our cars that if asked, on a case by case basis, I will make an exception to my rule. This is one such instance. Whether or not you agree with Kirk's opinions, the fact remains that he has saved countless cars, and helped many people over the years. In that spirit, I am posting this. I used to have a great picture of the Trooper but alas, another victim of my most recent crash. Below are the particulars and I'll post the picture as soon as Kirk gets it to me.

Make reasonable offers I have 20k in the car and want way less than half of
that..
How about $7,000.00 with the blower in the trunk, or $6,500 with the blower remaining on Kirks wall in his shop.

This is not my first choice, this was shot after navigating the Mud road to Ron's house last fall when we ran at Lapeer, MI.

My thanks to Rick, and Bob for submitting better pictures of the trooper in action.
