Have the car listed on the SAMBA for $9800. Just finding an original ragtop oval this straight will cost someone $6,000-$8,000. I would not sell it if I did not need to attend to some business matters. With a big motor and finished, I know it would sell for over $20,000.

I can't buy the car but I could maybe attach a note to a pigeon if you fancied another form of communication thrown in there? Problem is it'd probably s**t on the paint.

The Oval is joining the WOCKET and others among Russell Ritchie's Cal Look collection. Just finished talking with Russell and I could not be more pleased to have this car go to someone who appreciates the Cal Look and has committed himself to the preservation of our hobby and our culture. I am excited to see what Russell puts in the Oval for motivation and look foward to it on the street again.
We will consumate the deal after EBI3 and look for it in the future!
Thanks Russell! Can't wait to see it finished and on the road again.

This is how it looks now, car used to be Larry S before Rick got it.
