I would really like to see some pics if you have any. Sounds like it's as nice as Flipmo's car. I would agree with the guilt factor tho but $25k does go a long way these days with todays economy.

Flipmo I say keep it and enjoy it. You searched long and hard for a streetable stage car as I did. They are a rare find these days. I bought my Stage car months ago and have already put another $10k into it...

I have had (3) TB's and after every car I sold I wish I had just kept it cause eventually that bug comes back and you start rationalizing as to why you need another one... And once you have a Stage car you don't want anything else. Then you end up spending your money all over again on another TB except the money you made from the last car is now gone....

It's a cycle that dosen't ever seem to end for those who can (pay) for one. Not (afford) one...lol.

I'll part with mine some day im sure but later then sooner this time. Enjoy it, make the changes to run in TSO if you like. I think you should try that 76 GTS first. Otto had that on his stage car and he said that thing spooled wicked fast and made great HP. He went 9.20's.

I mean how many Stage II Duttweiler built street cars are out there that look like show cars and can still be driven every day on the street? None that I have ever seen.
