I don't know if this one has been posted here. Anybody know who "Take No Prisoners" BOB might be?

A black one in Dayton Ohio just sold for 13500..... a lot less miles.... and a lot closer for me....but I quit at 12K....lol

 

Yea, that's Reddog in Key Largo.

 

I didn't know he had a high mileage coupe for sale.....well, have to think about that. Vacation, drive home.....lol

 

I suspected so. Then I would give it a gold star endorsement.


I bought a lot of Benz cars with more mileage than that. All of them serviced me well.


Anything Bob put his name on would be a great buy.

 

Agreed - my only beef would be with the color -that is my least favored color.

But Bob has done SO much work on that car - I'd be comfortable saying that you could probably put 50,000 miles on it without doing a damn thing but oil changes after he has been thru it.

 

I have this one listed at my rock bottom starting bid. It's a great car and a super buy. I have over $12,000 invested in this car! If it doesn't sell on this listing I'm just going to keep it and run it myself. If nothing else I can take it up to the 2015 fall Dragon and avoid having the dragon take a bite out of the a$$ end of my #1 SRT6 roadster!

 

Ooops.........bitten by a guardrail??

 

YES . . . I wasn't actually on "The Dragon" at the time . . . I was running with Nick's group on Saturday. I knew early on that I was pushing the limits of my tires (cold temperatures and I should have been running a "softer/stickier" compound tire). While taking a sweeping left hand turn, the car started to slide. I corrected for the skid but the right rear wheel slipped off the road onto grass and the rear end kicked out further. The rear bumper just kissed the guardrail as I was powering out. I have only myself to blame for a rookie mistake. I'm lucky it only damaged the bumper cover . . . no damage to the wheel or the fender . . .

It could have been worse . . . This is what I saw in the rear view mirror . . .

 

Can't wait to meet you in person Bob. You are my kind of guy......but, I put a bullet in his *** the last time I was down there. He's been breathing fire every since.

 

Sorry to see the damage and glad it was not much worse. Sounds like your skills paid off.

On one of my trips to the Dragon I passed a once beautiful mangled NSX on a flat bed when their club was visiting. I really felt for the guy. Like Crossfires, they make no more.

 

Something like that on the passenger side is known as a "Darlington Stripe".

 

Edited, this was ME running with Nick one Saturday, not sure if it was spring or fall, or what year - guy behind me (who was either you, BigKid, or ???) told me that I missed the guard rail by centimeters - at least from his perspective.

I'm unsure if I was reaching the limits of the tires or my driving.

 

Bob.. I looked that over.. should buff right out! ..

Actually we were thinking sawzall and run hang it on the Dragon..

All joking aside.. glad it wasn't any worse...

 

In the old days Bob, the guard rail came in handy when you slid up in the marbles and needed to stay on the track....and you used it perfectly.....lol

 

For $10k bid, this looks like a great deal. The high mileage risk could be offset by the endorsements of so many forum members. Hopefully someone will buy this beauty. I dont have space in the garage or else i would buy it (maybe I should start being really nice to my neighbor who has a two-car garage but only one car!).

BTW: to me SSB is the best color for coupe (i know some here would disagree!). I still kick myself (figuratively speaking) for not pulling the trigger on CGOCIFER's srt6 coupe.
