    I bet I got a lot of you thinking that I was selling my toy. EEEEEE WRONG! Sorry Bill! No, I just found out that a friend past away, was the head of my old Vette club and he has one of these replicars that his widow was looking to sell. It's not finished, supposedily 80% complete. Last I heard it had tune point Vette motor and six speed. I'm trying to get to see it and report back and get asking price. However, I thought that I would get the word out. He was very experienced in Vettes, top mid year judge for concours. So he did a lot of things right on the mechanics. Hey Bill, want a new toy up in Wisc that you can finish? No badges on it yet.

    I'll give you $50 for it.........................and I'll throw in the 328!!! ;-)


    Seriously, if I bought it, I would put Corvette badges on it and sell it as a "Special Edition Corvette" made only in limited production as a tribute to the Miami Vice series. I would even leave a pink cardigan or some turqoise colored pants in the trunk with the name "Johnson" stitched into the collar. Some Corvette fan would think they got themselves a steal!! :)

    Finally some humor from you. I knew that if we worked on it long enough that you would come out of your shell and start having some fun.

    This was Mike Wagner's car. Mike was president of Northern Rays Corvette club a few years back but still an active member. Yes I just heard from a friend that still attends the meetings that Mike had a massive heart attack at his parents house. Unfortunately I heard to late to attend the services. His widow is selling his 2003 convertible also, silver/black with only 3000 miles on it. I heard a little too pricy thou. Not sure if Mike had any mid years at the time. He always had his fingers into a number of them as long as I always knew him. He will be missed.

    Oops, I meant Mike Wagner. The mind is the first thing to go. I can call some contacts and see if we can get some more info. BTW, we were all shocked. He always did the annual judging school and passed away the night before. The chapter is still trying to fill his vacancy. I consulted him and others on my mid-year many times.

    I found an ad in a recent German car magazine for a McBurnie Daytona replica in perfect condition. Guess the price: $ 60,000

    We should export these things to Europe.

    A Vette based replica would have a hard time in comparison to the near perfect ones from the UK. And in countries like Germany or Switzerland it would be VERY difficult to get it titled and a license plate. I'm actually somewhat surprised to see a McBurnie being sold in Germany.

    Aside from that I don't think this seller stands a chance in getting money even near his asking price. I just thought it was kinda funny.

    Auh too bad, thought I could make some money on my toy and use it to buy a real one. Then Bill would be off my back. However, I thought he offered to buy one for $50 and he'll throw in his 328 for the deal. How about it Bill? Do we have a deal? Of course I'll need to be assured that your 328 is in as good of shape as my Daytona.
