Love your car John.  I have one very similar.  Mine is an Aurora.

stellar creation! I love the story of the build as it adds so much to the finished product.

David, thank you so much, it's greatly appreciated. I've gotten a little too old (82) and much too fat to drive. Bad back, two replacement knees, so I'm thinking of selling. It's tough getting old.

John,

    I'll give you $100 cash for it, but you'll have to throw in the MG Midget that used to sit unloved in the back of your garage in NJ to sweeten the deal on my end.

You couldn't go wrong, John was a true pioneer in the FFR community when he was building this car.

Beautiful car! I love the "clean" look of the engine bay and such. I am confident the next owner will get some great enjoyment out of the car. Good luck in finding the right buyer.

Well reality has finally hit me, and I've reached the realization that it's time to sell her which is what I did. She has reached her new home in NJ.

Congratulations, will something easier to get in and out of replace it?

I'm thinking along the lines of 65-66 Mustang, but one that is turn key and needs no work.

WhiteWalls... Seems a number of street 289's had them new.  ( I think they were part of one of the Option packages - others will know better)

White walls were probably the reason McQueen didn't buy.......
